Abstract:
The need for data on the distribution of criteria for community welfare is very important to use to assist local
governments in alleviating poverty and welfare problems. Therefore, this study aims to develop a criteria
distribution information system. The Information System of the socio-economic conditions of the community
was built using the Laravel framework and using 13 criteria divided into 47 sub-criteria sourced from the
results of the SUSENAS Statistics Indonesia, East Kalimantan Province. The results achieved from this study
are information systems that store data on the distribution of community welfare criteria as many as 295 data
presented in the form of bar graphs and circle graphs.
1 INTRODUCTION
The phenomenon of poverty always arises and messes
many developing countries (Kasri, 2016) (Swastika
and Supriyatna, 2016). Since decentralization and
regional autonomy is implemented, Indonesian local
governments have an important mission in poverty al-
leviation and social services (Fossati, 2019). Poverty
and inequality are problems faced by each local gov-
ernment (Budiman et al., 2017). The regional gov-
ernment has promoted several programs and efforts
to overcome these problems, including the regional
government of Samarinda (Maffirotin et al., 2018).
Based on the data from the Statistics Indonesia
(BPS) of East Kalimantan Province, the population of
Samarinda City in 2017 was 843,446 people. The data
denote that the number of poor family in 2016 is 38.95
thousand people (4.72%) and in 2017 is 40.1 thousand
people (40.77%) (Badan Pusat Statistik BPS. (BPS,
2017) . From these data, it can be seen that the num-
ber of poor people has increased from the previous
year by 0.5%.
The analysis of the socio-economic welfare condi-
tions of the community is very necessary to describe
the level of socio-economic welfare the residents in
the field based on the criteria that influence it. The so-
cial assistance programs launched by the government
have targeted and relevant manner. Therefore, there
is needed to know the socio-economic conditions of
the population in each district to facilitate the deci-
sion of the government or private to their distribution
of social assistance programs.
Currently, the process of distributing government
social assistance to the community starts with the
data collection, selection, and recommendation pro-
cess carried out by neighborhood leader. This recom-
mendation is submitted to the village chief and subse-
quently used as the poverty data by the sub-district or
the agency that organized the assistance program. An
information system is a better solution for presenting
data on the socio-economic welfare of the community
and to mapping the distribution socio-economic wel-
fare criteria of the population. This information sys-
tem model will certainly provide data that describes
the condition of the community so that it can be used
as a reference in policy making by the local govern-
ment so that the social assistance programs launched
is on target or in other words it as needed of commu-
nity (Ependi, 2012). The data of criteria distribution
of community welfare can also determine the policy
direction for the regional government in other pro-
grams to alleviate poverty and increase the welfare of
the population.
