Abstract

The deterioration rate of district roads is the highest of all Indonesian road networks. Road maintenance budgetary constraint is faced by almost all of the district roads in Indonesia. Road maintenance prioritization should be a challenge in an attempt to optimize the use of the existing resources. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is widely used as an alternative method to determine the district road maintenance priority. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the district road maintenance priority using AHP. The research was conducted in Malang Regency and Pasuruan Regency. Four criteria were used for performing AHP, namely: road conditions, traffic, land use, and economics. The results showed that there were differences in the arrangement of the criteria in preparing road maintenance priorities. The road conditions criteria are the first priority in Pasuruan Regency, followed by traffic, economics, and land use. It is different from Malang Regency where road condition becomes the first criterion, followed by traffic, land use, and economics. AHP can be used to prioritize district road maintenance although there may be differences in the arrangement of criteria in preparing road maintenance priorities for each regency/district. © 2019 Author(s).
