The purpose of this study is to design information systems to optimize the distribution of Qurban meat in Eid Qurban. During this time each local Qurban organizer carried out their respective Qurban activities. The meat supply in some region have an uneven distribution of qurban meat. They did not know the number of qurban meats in other areas and their distribution. Therefore, as a solution to optimize the distribution of qurban meat, the author designed an information system for searching and requesting qurban meat based on website. This system is designed for each Qurban organizer so that they can inform about the qurban meat stocks which can be requested by another organizer. This research used experimental method. The system designed using the A-star algorithm to find the closest location. The programming languages used are PHP and JavaScript programming languages. While database management used MySQL. This system is applied to search for excess qurban meat stock at the nearest location. The result is that the application could function properly and ready to be used in the public. The existence of this designed system is expected to help the process of distributing qurban meat to become more optimal so that the social objectives of the celebration of the Qurban feast are achieved.
