i. Break down the complex problem into a number of
small constituent elements and then structure the elements in a hierarchical form.
ii. Make a series of pair wise comparisons among the
elements according to a ratio scale. iii.
Use the eigenvalue method to estimate the relative weights of the elements.
iv. Aggregate these relative weights and synthesize
them for the final measurement of given decision alternatives.
B. Fuzzy Set Theory
Fuzzy set theory is a mathematical theory aimed to model the vagueness or imprecision of human cognitive
processes. The theory is pioneered by Zadeh [6]. The fuzzy sets represent the grade of any element, for example
x that have the partial membership to A. The degree to which an element belongs to a set is defined by the value
between 0 and 1. An element x really belongs to A if µAx = 1 and clearly not if µAx = 0. The higher is the
membership value, µAx, the greater is the belongingness of an element x to a set.
The Fuzzy AHP in this paper applied the triangular fuzzy number through symmetric triangular membership
function. A triangular fuzzy number is the special class of fuzzy number whose membership defined by three real
numbers, expressed as l, m, u. The triangular fuzzy numbers is represented as in equation below [7].
The conventional AHP approach may not fully reflect a style of human thinking because the decision makers
usually feel more confident to give interval judgments rather than expressing their judgments in the form of
single numeric values. In contradiction, FAHP is capable of capturing a humans appraisal of ambiguity when
complex multi-attribute decision making problems are considered by transforming crisp judgments into fuzzy
judgments.
3. Analysis and Design
A. Program Perumahan Rakyat Termiskin PHP
According to Economic Planning Unit EPU of the Prime Minister’s Department, during the National Development
Policy for the years of 1991 until 2000, the Development Programme for Pauper DPP was introduced to assist the
Pauper. One of the housing projects or program that has been tailored to meet the Pauper needs is the PHP which
is being managed and monitored by every state in Malaysia.
B. Analysis on Current Evaluation Flow of PHP
Applications and Evaluations Currently, the PHP selection system flow is done
manually whereby all the evaluations will be done by human, without any aid from a proper systematic
technique. All the applications need to be investigated and evaluated to determine whether it is qualify enough to be
consider and bring up for the endorsement of Exco. The evaluation which is done by Headman is only based on
their own judgments which is might be questioned.
At first, the poor people will need to fill up a PHP application form in which they can get it from District
Office or SLCC. Then they will need to get the verification or support from their respective head of
village committee for development and security before they send it back to SLCC for recommendation from State
Legislative Member SLM.
Next, SLCC will submit the application form to the District Office. Here, Headman will go to their house
applicants for investigation and evaluation. The investigation is just like an ordinary interview whereby
Headman will ask some questions regarding the applicant’s background and the criteria of the evaluation
are as follows:
• The income of the head of the family
• The number of family members: and
• The conditions of current house whereby, is there
any necessity to repair the house or build a new one.
After Headman has all the information, they will make their evaluation based on their own judgment. At this
stage, without any proper and systematic method of evaluation, it may come to worse that the most qualified
applications will be rejected.
The next process is to appoint a contractor that will be in charged to handle the construction of the new house or
repairing the current house. The appointment of the contractor is under SLCC’s responsibility with the help of
Villager’s Small Committee VSC itself. The summary of the flow for PHP selection is as in figure 1.
