Implementasi Metode Double Exponential Smoothing dalam Memprediksi Pertambahan Jumlah Penduduk di Wilayah Kabupaten Karawang

Abstract

The density and uneven distribution of the population in each area must be considered because it will cause problems such as the emergence of uninhabitable slums, environmental degradation, security disturbances, and other population problems. In the data obtained from the 2010 population census based on the level of population distribution in Karawang District, the area of West Karawang, East Karawang, Rengasdengklok, Telukjambe Timur, Klari, Cikampek and Kotabaru are zone 1 regions which are the densest zone with a population of 76,337 people up to 155,471 inhabitants. This research predicts / forecasting population growth in the 7 most populated areas for the next 1 year using Double Exponential Smoothing Brown and Holt methods. This study uses Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) to evaluate the performance of the double exponential smoothing method in predicting per-additional population numbers. Forecasting results from the two methods place the Districts of East Telukjambe, Cikampek, Kotabaru, East Karawang, and Rengasdengklok in 2020 to remain in zone 1 with a range of 76,337 people to 155,471 inhabitants. Whereas in the Districts of Klari and West Karawang are outside the range in zone 1 because both districts have more population than the range in zone 1. From the results of MAPE both methods are found that 6 out of 7 districts in the method Holt's double exponential smoothing produces a smaller MAPE value compared to the MAPE value generated from Brown's double exponential smoothing method. It was concluded that in this study the Holt double exponential smoothing method was better than Brown's double exponential smoothing method.
