The more efficient and effective a transportation of goods the more pressing commodity prices. Distribution of goods from to and from the trading location, finally to consumers is not a simple thing, but is influenced by various chains of movement that affect the cost, time, security and safety. The results showed that sea transportation has reached all cities/regencies in the Southeast Sulawesi region, crossing vessels are sea transportation used by the community to cross inter-island within the province or inter-provincial crossings which play an important role in the smooth movement of people and goods. Port connectivity the role of driving development for remote/underdeveloped areas, to open isolated/remote areas, increase trade, population mobility and reduce regional disparity. The level of accessibility of the sea shipping network is quite adequate, because it can be seen that all regencies/cities have been connected to the crossing port, only the Wakatobi regencies whose inter- island transportation is still served by the people's shipping sea transportation.

INTRODUCTION The logistics system is in dire need of an integrated distribution system in order to be able to guarantee the availability of basic community goods in a fair and equitable manner. The current logistics system is not yet optimal, where the key commodity (key commodity factor) as a driver of logistics activities has not been effectively coordinated; transportation infrastructure is inadequate both in terms of quantity and quality. In general, the location of production activities is different from the place of consumers; the difference in these places must be overcome by transportation activities (Blueprint Sislognas, 2012) The role and function of transportation infrastructure is to facilitate the movement of goods flow effectively and efficiently, the availability of adequate transportation infrastructure networks is an important factor for realizing local connectivity. Infrastructure and local transportation networks are part of domestic connectivity that is expected to be able to connect rural, urban (city, district, and provincial) communities, centers of economic growth within one island or within an economic corridor, it is hoped that the transportation infrastructure network into the backbone must have been developed so that it will tightly interconnect between industrial, urban, and rural areas. Transportation and logistics can increase trade performance, which leads to higher incomes, job benefits, and lower poverty rates. Efficient transportation and logistics are the keys to achieving social development goals. The regulation of the transportation and logistics sector and the creation of good quality business environments can be important factors in the development and expansion of global value chains. With this condition the competitiveness of products increases, as well as the needs of basic and strategic commodities the community can be met with an appropriate amount and affordable prices. The transportation system of goods transportation in supporting the movement of goods in cities in urban areas to coastal areas has very limited space for certain road segments, especially for large trucks and container/container vehicles. The limited space will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the transportation of goods itself. The more efficient and effective a transportation of goods the more pressing commodity prices. The journey of goods from to and from the trade location, finally to the consumer is not a simple thing, but is influenced by various chain of movements that affect the cost and time of distribution. Integration of Logistics infrastructure nodes, both logistics nodes (logistics nodes) and linkages between logistic nodes which serves to flow goods from the origin to the destination. The logistics node includes logistics and consumers, the transportation network connects rural, urban, economic growth centers, and between islands. The distribution of logistical transportation in supporting the movement of goods in coastal areas has very limited space for certain road segments, especially large trucks and container / container vehicles. The limited space will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the transportation of the goods themselves. Distribution of goods to and from trade locations, ultimately to consumers is not a simple thing, but is influenced by various chains of movement that affect the cost, time, security and safety 2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Connectivity System In the archipelago, strengthening the connectivity system is needed so that relationships within and between islands run smoothly in supporting the economic development of an area. Connectivity in sislognas has a vision of Local Integrated, Globally Connected and has 3 levels of integrated connectivity namely: Local Connectivity (Intra Island), National Connectivity (Inter Island) and Global Connectivity (International) as shown in the picture http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 57 [email protected] Adris Ade Putra, La Ode Muh Magribi above. In the archipelago, connectivity scenarios are expected to open isolated areas so that they are connected with economic centers, aiming to reduce price and service disparities, increase competitiveness and accelerate poverty reduction, which in turn can increase accessibility social and economic community. The role of the port in the connectivity system is a modal switch between sea transportation and land/road transportation (Jinca, 2011) The port as the main element in the sea transportation system is a supporter of economic activity, provides services for movement of people and goods, and is a catalyst for economic growth. Ports can play a role in driving development for remote/underdeveloped areas, known as pioneering transportation to open isolated/remote areas, increase trade, population mobility and reduce regional disparities and realize regional stability. The connectivity or node chain has 4 functions as (composition, connection, interchange, decomposition) in intermodal transportation (Rodrigue and Comtois, 2013) as in the following figure: Figure 1 Intermodal Transportation Chain 2.2. Logistics Transportation Distribution Logistics consider the wide set of activities dedicated to the transformation and circulation of goods, such as the material supply of production, the core distribution and transport function, wholesale and retail and also the provision of households with consumer goods as well as the related information flows (Handfield and Nichols, 1999). These activities composing logistics are included into two major functions which are physical distribution; the derived transport segment, and materials management; the induced transport segment. The vast majority of companies consider customer service to be an important aspect of their business. When pressed, however, there are many companies that find it difficult to describe exactly what they mean by customer service or provide a precise definition of customer service measures. Traditionally, service provisions have been based on very broad assumptions of what customers want, rather than taking into account the real requirements of customers or at least customers’ perceptions of what they require. For any company or organization it is vital, therefore, to have a clear definition of customer service and to have specific and recognized customer service measures. It is also important to understand that customer service and customer service requirements can and will differ not just between industries and companies but additionally between the market segments that a business might serve. Another relevant factor is the recognition of the complexity of customer service provision. Customer service is inextricably linked to the process of distribution and logistics. Within this process, there are many influences that may be relevant to customer service. These range from the ease of ordering to stock availability to delivery reliability. Finally, there is the need to
