Analysis of MAUT methods in determining recipients for the hope family program (PKH)

The Family Hope Program (PKH) aims to improve living standards through education, health, and social welfare services. However, selecting the recipients is often considered not right on target, due to data that is not up to date and there are no right-targeted criteria. Therefore, a decision-making system using the MAUT method is needed in determining the recipients of the Family Hope Program assistance for education services in Petatal Village, Batubara Regency with 8 criteria. With the application of the MAUT method, it is found that A3 is the most appropriate to receive PKH assistance.
