Ranking Method in Group Decision Support to Determine the Regional Prioritized Areas and Leading Sectors using Garrett Score

Abstract

The main objective of regional development is to achieve equal development in different regions. However, the long duration and complexity of the process may result in the unequal development of some regions. In order to achieve a fair development process for each region, a standard approach must be developed to select a suitable priority area that can support other underdeveloped regions that require attention. One of the approaches taken is to determine the prioritized areas and the leading sectors in the region where the region is expected to be a support for other regions that still need attention and handling on development priorities. This research was conducted to provide a new alternative in the process of determining the prioritized areas, not only by observing the development data, but also involving decision-making components consisting of government and community (including non-governmental organizations and academicians). This study used group decision support approach with the Garrett ranking technique. The results of the research on the determination of the prioritized areas using Garret Score showed that there are 5 of 29 Regencies/Municipalities in Papua Province that can be used as prioritized areas, namely Jayapura Regency, Jayapura Municipality, Mimika, Merauke and Nabire. Then, there are three leading sectors for development, namely agricultural, mining and Industrial and Processing sectors. The test of ranking results was conducted by calculating the Spearman's correlation coefficient of the Garrett ranking results and obtained a coefficient of 0.807 which means that the ranking results are very strong.
