Road infrastructure serves as a crucial component in supporting regional development by connecting administrative areas and facilitating economic and social mobility. In Mesuji Regency, Lampung Province, the limited accessibility between sub-district capitals—due to poor road conditions and insufficient pavement quality—poses a significant challenge to infrastructure planning and equitable regional growth. This study aims to analyze the priority of road infrastructure development using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), integrating both qualitative and quantitative data through field surveys, expert judgment, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The assessment employs four key criteria: road condition, pavement type, spatial/regional planning (RTRW), and social aspects. The results indicate that road condition is the most influential factor in determining development priority, followed by pavement type, spatial function, and social indicators. Among the six evaluated road segments, Segment E—characterized by unpaved, severely damaged roads in an agriculturally productive area—emerged as the top priority with a score of 0.4425. Segment F ranks second (0.2516), followed by Segment D (0.2325), Segment A (0.2220), Segment B (0.2184), and Segment C (0.1803). These findings emphasize the importance of strategic infrastructure investment focused on enhancing connectivity and supporting local economies. The AHP-based framework provides a rational, transparent approach to guiding infrastructure development decisions, particularly in resource-limited regions. It also serves as a policy recommendation tool for regional planning authorities to ensure sustainable and inclusive development.
