SS2037: PRISMA-DAERAH

OLIRMATHY A/P KUMARAN Universiti Utara Malaysia

PRISMA-DAERAH sorts Malaysia's 160 districts into four similar groups using AI, then scores each district from 0 to 100 across six development areas. Instead of debating single numbers, decision-makers get one map and one score showing where help is needed most. Improving basic services and household income together produces the fastest results. Strong farming activity does not automatically mean people are better off, markets and supply chains matter too. For districts close to moving up, better education is usually the best first step. PRISMA-DAERAH turns long data debates into clear, ready-to-fund action steps, district by district.
