Applying of Global Priority Value in the Selection of Alternative Inter-Provincial Roads

The Salubatu – Bonehau – Kalumpang – South Sulawesi boundary is a district road which has the plan of status upgrade become a national road with the addition of new access that replaces the existing soil pavement. The proposed new access has 3 alternative sections. The purpose of this study was to determine the best alternative route for access to Kalumpang-Bonehau-Border of South Sulawesi using the analysis hierarchy process method. The most influential criteria in selecting a route based on the priority vector value is accessibility. Other criteria that influence the selection of alternatives are environment and energy sources, safety factors, land use/regional development, average speed, travel time, internal rate of return, and ease of construction. The results of the AHP, Alternative 1 can be considered with a global priority value of 88.267%. The advantages of the AHP method in this study are that it can use a variety of assessment factors, open and transparent discussions with stakeholders, criteria can be qualitative and quantitative, priority assessments are based on measurement scales and logical consistency, there is a utility value for each alternative to the criteria, and the sensitivity of the criteria. However, the weakness of this method are the evaluation process is complicated and quite long, and there are a lot of actors and data.
