The analysis of land use weights on road traces selection

Abstract

Land use is a basic factor in determining road traces for residential, industrial or other space areas. The existence of spatial layout will affect the class of road, where the construction of new roads should not spoil the existing spatial layout. In swamp areas, land use is more dominated by agriculture, plantations, and forests such as the presence of swamp areas in Banyuasin District [1][2][13]. The development of swamp areas that are currently being upgraded requires road infrastructure, so it is necessary to undertake a study of the selection of road traces based on existing land use, then in order to gain priority of the land use based on the importance level on the selection of road traces opinion from stakeholders is required, so the selection of road traces in swamp areas can be more economical. Data collection was done through questionnaires distributed to respondents from stakeholders related to road and environmental fields, then analysis of the importance level was done using AHP method. From the analysis results the weights of the importance of land use for the selection road traces was obtained, which are namely shrub/bushes (29.99%), plantation (22.79%), rice field (19,74%), settlements (10.48%), forest (9.77%), water body (7.22%).
