| Abstract | Enhancing small-scale industries has been viewed as an effective way of fostering the
private sector's contribution to both the growth and equity of development in developing
countries since it has potential capabilities for strengthening industrial structure, and it has
important role to play towards enhancing economic growth, increasing industrial efficiency,
absorbing employment and poverty alleviation. Indonesia as a developing country, concerned with
the the development of small-scale industry. Since there are some scarcity of resources,it is
suggested that the development be more selected and focussed.
The selection of small-scale food industries involved many aspects such as socio-political
aspect and potential growth aspect which have different types of data~ both qualitative and
quantitative . . This is further complicated by the fact that either of these types of data can contain
critical information, and there are also conflicts between those aspects. Therefore multicritera
decision model is required for solving this problem. The techniques known as Analytic Hierarchy
Process (AHP) is used here. Hence questionnaires based on AHP model were distributed to the
respondents from Bappeda (Regional Developing Planning Agency) and industrial department in
West Java Province who were involved directly in development planning either in regional
(Bappeda) or in linked sector (industrial department).
Based on the result of this study, we recommended the West Java government to take
attempts to promote palm sugar by improving its marketing. It is suggested that those attempts
should be supported by providing financial support. The result was derived by using Geometric
Mean consensus method. The comparison of the result derived by some consensus methods such
as Borda Kendall Method, Mean Rank, Mean Eigenvalue, Arithmetic Mean was also made. |
