Abstract

This study aims to assess and rank the quality of life across 34 provinces in Indonesia using Multi‐Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) with the Organization, Rangement Et Synthèse De Données Relationnelles (ORESTE) method. The assessment was conducted based on seven main domains of quality of life: emotional well‐being, health, employment and productive activities, material well‐being, community participation, personal safety, and environmental quality. The results show that DKI Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Bali ranked the highest with scores of 1748, 2164, and 2195, respectively. In contrast, Papua, West Papua, and West Sulawesi ranked at the bottom with scores of 5375, 4790, and 4573.5, respectively. The ORESTE method also successfully identified situations of incomparability between some provinces, confirming that not all provinces can be directly compared due to their unique characteristics. Sensitivity analysis reveals that changes in criteria weights do not significantly affect the ranking results, indicating that the outcomes are stable and robust. This study makes a significant contribution by providing a foundation for policymakers to formulate more equitable and inclusive development strategies aimed at reducing disparities in quality of life across provinces in Indonesia.
