Abstract

Abstract: Road management strategies, as a key component of road preservation and an essential part of road management asset programs, is not only carried out to enhance the physical condition of the road infrastructure, but also to ensure that roads can support mobility, safety, and socio-economic development in the region. Limited financial resources for road management programs hinder the optimal management strategies of all road segments in a region. This study evaluates the effectiveness of road management strategies using the Provincial / Kabupaten Road Management System (PKRMS) method and identifies priority road segments through the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The research integrates the PKRMS approach with a questionnaire-based AHP analysis to identify priority road segments requiring management and to determine suitable management strategies. The AHP criteria employed in this study consist of regional development, road condition, traffic volume, policy, accessibility, land use, and economic aspects. The study was conducted on five road segments in Palembang, namely Jalan Sultan M. Mansyur, Jalan Noerdin Pandji, Jalan MP. Mangkunegara, Jalan Pangeran Ratu – Pasar Induk – Sp. Jalan Pendidikan, and Jalan Lettu Karim Kadir (Gandus) – Bts. Kab. Banyuasin. The results reveal that, based on the AHP method, Jalan Noerdin Pandji (Palembang) is identified as the highest-priority road segment. Furthermore, the PKRMS analysis indicates that the most appropriate management strategy for this segment consists of routine maintenance (PR) and routine condition maintenance (RK). The results showed that the first priority with the highest value of 0.679 in the road management was for Jalan Noerdin Pandji (Palembang) and requires managements such as routine maintenance and condition-based routine works, with a total management cost of IDR 4,572.03 million.
