Multicriteria Analysis Model in Sustainable Corn Farming Area Planning

Introduction This research aims to develop a framework for multicriteria analysis to evaluate alternatives for sustainable corn agricultural area planning, considering the integration of ecological, economic, and social aspects as pillars of sustainability. Methods The research method uses qualitative and quantitative approaches to integrate ecological, economic, and social aspect in the multicriteria analysis. The analysis involves land evaluation, sub criteria identification and data integration using Multidimensional Scaling and Analysis Hierarchy Process methods to prioritize developing sustainable corn agricultural areas. Results Based on the results and analysis, it indicates that the ecological dimension depicts less sustainability. The Analytical Hierarchy Process results yield weight distribution and highly relevant scores that describe tangible preferences. Conclusion Priority directions are grouped as strategic steps toward achieving the goals of sustainable corn agricultural area planning.
