FUZZY LOGIC FOR DETERMINING THE SUITABILITY OF BOARDING HOUSES BASED ON DESIRED CRITERIA USING THE SAW METHOD

Abstract

Determining a boarding house that matches students’ preferences requires defining criteria and weights as references in the decision support system for selecting the appropriate boarding house. Questionnaire results on boarding houses around Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo are used by the majority of boarding house seekers to choose a place to stay. One method used is Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), which is a decision support method based on the weighted sum of alternatives. The SAW method was chosen because it is capable of providing ranked recommendations based on the desired criteria, so that the expected results are sufficiently accurate. A previous study by Amirillah et al., with the same theme of determining boarding house suitability, found that the application of fuzzy logic using the Mamdani method was effectively applied in determining boarding house suitability.
