This study aims to Page Number: 368-380 determine the condition of existing roads, analyze the level of development of Publication Issue : the sub-regency, analyze and develop road management plans and strategies in September-October-2020 Aceh Besar Regency. Descriptive analysis methods, GIS, and scalogram to identify the level of development in the sub-regency and methods to get decisions about road management plans and strategies in this study used the AHP and SWOT methods. The results of the study show that the existing road conditions are around 1,644.36 KM in good condition, 330.48 KM and 387.08 KM in moderate condition, while the rest are still in a damaged condition, for the type of asphalt surface around 761.91, while the rest is still in the form of gravel and soil. The scalogram results show 3 regency are service centers (Hierarchy I), 9 regency are service sub-centers (Hierarchy II), and 11 sub- regency are hinterland areas (Hierarchy III). Based on the AHP analysis, it is found that the potential for tourism objects is more dominant in determining road handling, namely there are 5 priority sections and in the SWOT analysis using the ST (Strenght-Threats) diversification strategy (1) Road handling is carried out by the regional government of Aceh Besar Regency in developing regional potential such as regional tourism objects, markets and agriculture, (2) The government focuses on building damaged road infrastructure for smooth Article History accessibility, (3) Aceh Besar Regency Government utilizes the private sector or Accepted : 15 Oct 2020 investors in road handling (4) The regional government aims to maintain road Published : 26 Oct 2020 quality for convenient access to all territory.

INTRODUCTION that connects all cities and production centers in all regions provides opportunities and encourages Development and space are one unit, because space is development and enhancement of regional economic a medium in development. Good development, growth (Miri, 2014). optimally regulating the space and natural resources contained therein to preserve the environment Examined conflicts in infrastructure development (Febrianto et al 2019). Regional development needs to planning, in the identification results it was found be seen from the condition of the area, such as the that the core problem was the lack of communication superior potential of the area must be used as a basis between residents affected by development and for consideration in determining regional developers during the development planning period development strategies based on the linkages of the (Shen et al 2010). It is imperative to develop road development of the socio-economic conditions of the network infrastructure in line with the increasing surrounding community, the potential of natural need to support economic growth, especially in areas resources, and the availability of regional facilities with strategic value (Afriansyah et al. 2012). and infrastructure that can support economic Increasing the length of roads is an important activities in the region. (Purnama et al 2019). production factor for districts / cities with low per Development activities are carried out in developing capita GRDP and low Human Development Index countries to create better conditions than before. (IPM). The road network system is a unit of road that Economic development is not enough with an connects and binds growth centers with areas that are increase in per capita income in the long term, but under the influence of its services in a hierarchical what is more important is that the number of poor relationship (Novitasari and Maryati 2015). people has not increased and the income distribution is not getting more unequal (Subandi, 2014). A well- Therefore, road planning in Aceh Besar District is designed infrastructure can also make growth more very important to consider the level of development inclusive by sharing benefits to poor groups and of the area to be served. The condition of the length communities, especially by connecting remote areas of roads in Aceh Besar Regency in 2018 shows that and small countries to major business centers the length of Regency roads according to the District (Bhattacharya 2010). is in good condition along 330.48 KM, 387.08 KM, 244.18 KM lightly damaged, and 317.71 KM heavily The regional development approach is one of the damaged. So in handling and road management solutions that are considered appropriate in strategies in Aceh Besar District, it should be more accelerating the development of a region, regional focused on road transportation services through development is seen as a process or stage of improving existing roads, not by building new roads development activities in a certain area which in its that refer to the Regulation of the Minister of Public realization involves the interaction between human Works No.14 / PRT / M / 2010. Since the funds for resources and natural resources including artificial road management in Aceh Besar District are limited, resources (Syarifudin et al 2014). Connecting priority is needed for road handling so that the transportation services from service centers located allocation and use of limited funds can be effective. In not far to isolated, remote, underdeveloped and determining and planning roads in an area based on border areas. The positive impact is to increase the the function, class and status of the road, it is production and productivity of its potential sectors, necessary to consider the existing regional potentials. increase employment and community income.

METHODS AND MATERIAL criteria for determining the development area at the Regency level are determined based on the principle The research area is located in the administrative area of balanced development where developing and less of Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh Province, which has an developed areas need treatment to be built, three area of 2,903.50 km² and is geographically located choices of handling arrangements for areas such as between 5.05 ° -5.75 ° south latitude and 94.99 ° - areas that have low economic diversity and balance, 95.93 ° divided east longitude. over 23 districts, 68 In areas that have relatively slow village Mukim and 604 Gampong / Village (BPS Aceh Besar development, and areas that are not efficient in terms District, 2020). of resource utilization (Sudarya, 2013), hierarchical A. Research methods class is taken for the factor in the road management The data analysis carried out included descriptive plan matrix I. Scalogram analysis requires data on analysis, GIS, scalogram analysis, AHP and SWOT. infrastructure facilities and hierarchical classes based Scalogram analysis uses Microsoft Excel 2013 on standard deviation (stdev) values of the CPI and application to tabulate data on the number of facilities. the mean value as shown in Table I. The data collected by the questionnaire is carried out TABLE I by the process of entering data in tabulated form, Hierarchical Value Determination Table then the SWOT analysis process is carried out for the Interval No Class Hierarchy Level determination and strategy of road handling, the Value determination and planning of road in an area is Subdistrict carried out by referring to the Minister of Public Hierarchy Development High 1 Works Regulation No.14 / PRT / M / 2010 with a I Index> (mean + focus road transportation services through Stdev) enhancement of the existing road.
