Abstract:  Population  data  is  one  of  the  information  needed  for  sustainable  development  planning.  Sustainable 
development  is  a  planned  development  in  all  fields  to  create  an  ideal  comparison  between  population 
development and the carrying capacity and capacity of the environment and to meet the needs of the current 
generation, without having to reduce the capabilities and needs of future generations, to support the life of the 
nation from generation to generation throughout time. Population data as essential regional data is relatively 
static,  such  as  data  on  changes  in  migration  between  regions.  Changes  in  the  general  structure  of  the 
population,  socio-economic  structure,  vertical  and  horizontal  population  mobility  are  an  essential  part  of 
population data collection and planning at the regional and national levels. Invalid population data is one of 
the weak points in implementing sustainable development in the regions. For example, in human resource 
planning, data is needed on the number of school-age population and workers. By incorporating population 
into the national economic and development strategy, sustainable development will accelerate by growing the 
workforce. As a result, development goals will be achieved more quickly. Information on population data in 
the city of Bitung is not efficient in its management. The data input process should be carried out at the unit 
closest to the community, such as the village. This application will be developed using PHP and MySQL. By 
using  the  mixing  method,  the  application  will  be  developed  to  the trial stage in real conditions. This 
application was created to classify the population's expertise in real-time to support sustainable development 
in the city of Bitung in particular. 
1  INTRODUCTION 
A  population  is  an  object  as  well  as  a  subject  in 
national development. The policy in the field of the 
population is not only about the number and density 
of  the  population,  immigration  flows,  births,  and 
deaths, but also policies in terms of controlling high 
population growth and directing mobility and a more 
even  distribution  of  the  population,  especially  in 
sparsely  populated  areas.  Regulate  the  desired 
population will cause social and economic problems. 
The  very  large  population  growth  will  affect  the 
facilities and infrastructure in the fields of education, 
health, and so on. 
Referring to data from the BPS (Central Statistics 
Agency) of Bitung City through a publication entitled 
"Bitung City in Figures 2021", it was noted that the 
number of the labor force in Bitung city in 2020 was 
91,622 people with the percentage of the population 
working  towards  the  workforce  in  Bitung  city  was 
89.77%,  where  the  working-age  population  is  the 
population  aged  15  years  and  over  while  the  labor 
force  is  the  population  working  age  (15  years  and 
over)who are working, have a job but temporarily not 
working, and are unemployed. The number of skilled 
and skilled workforce at BLKI Bitung City in 2020 is 
859people. The problems caused by the large number 
and  growth  of  the  labor  force,  on  the  one  hand, 
demand greater job opportunities. On the other hand, 
demand  the  development  of  the  workforce  itself  so 
that it is able to produce higher outputs. This increase 
must  be  anticipated  by  the  government  and  the 
business world as employers or job openings. 
Employment  comes  from  economic  growth. 
However, high growth does not always provide large 
jobs.  This  relates  to  the  economic  development 
strategy  carried  out  by  the  government  and  the 
business  world.  Another  thing  that  must  also  be 
considered in analyzing the relationship between the 
labor  force  and  employment  opportunities  is  that  if
