A Preliminary Study on Detection System for Assessing Children and Foster Parents Suitability

Abstract

The adoption process is conducted in society aiming to give the right of foster children to get parents who can guarantee the welfare of children's life in the future. In Indonesia, the adoption process is regulated by law binding both from the side of foster parents and children. In fact, there are still some instances of adoption that are carried out outside of the provisions of the law and cause violations that harm foster children. Based on these problems, it is necessary to build a system that accommodates the needs both psychologically and materially from the side of children and parents. The existence of a detection system to assess the suitability between the two is to reduce the risk of violence in foster children. To build the system, it needs an algorithm capable of formulating several related factors. In this case, CARTs algorithm is an algorithm capable of predicting an optimal match that supports successful adoption of foster children.
