Abstract

Determination of methods or contraception tool used by acceptors to support the Family Planning (“Keluarga Berencanaâ€) is a problematic. In choosing methods or contraception tool, the acceptor must consider several factors, namely health factor, partner factor, and contraceptive method. Each method or contraception tool which is used has its advantages or disadvantages. Although it has been considering the advantages and disadvantages, it is still difficult to control fertility safely and effectively. Consequently acceptor change the method or a contraception tool that is used more than once. In order acceptors get the appropriate contraception tool then the patterns of changing in the usage of effective methods or contraception tool is determined. One of the methods that can be used to look for the patterns of changing in the usage of contraception tool is data mining. Data mining is an interesting pattern extraction of large amounts of data. A pattern is said to be interesting if the pattern is not trivial, implicit, previously unknown, and useful. The patterns presented should be easy to understand, can be applied to data that will be predicted with a certain degree, useful, and new. The early stage before applying data mining is using k nearest neighbors algorithm to determine the factors shortest distance selecting the contraception tool. The next step is applying data mining to usage changing data of method or contraception tool of family planning acceptors which is expected to dig up information related to acceptor behavior pattern in using the method or contraception tool. Furthermore, from the formed pattern, it can be used in decision making regarding the usage of effective contraception tool. The results obtained from this research is the k nearest neighbors by using the Euclidean distance can be used to determine the similarity of attributes owned by the acceptors of Family Planning to the training data is already available. Based on available training data, it can be determined the usage pattern of contraceptiion tool with the concept of data mining, where the acceptors of Family Planning are given a recommendation if the pattern is on the training data pattern. Conversely, if the pattern is none match, then the system does not provide recommendations of contraception tool which should be used.
