INTRODUCTION
Roads are one of the most vital public infrastructures that are needed to support the smooth flow of traffic and the wheels of the economy of a region.The Soreang District area is one of the areas where the task of handling road facilities and infrastructure is divided in Bandung Regency, which is located in the province of West Java, where the traffic frequency is quite dense.The Soreang Regency area consists of 10 (ten) villages including: Cingcin village which is directly adjacent to Bandung City and Ciwidey Regency makes its strategic position as a gateway route between Bandung City, Bandung Regency and Ciwidey Regency, so that many large and small vehicles pass to Bandung City or vice versa.
Soreang is located 18 km south of the city of Bandung.This area is a link between the cities of Bandung and Ciwidey.During the Dutch colonial era, the Bandung-Ciwidey railway line was built which crossed the city to transport tea and quinine plantation products from Ciwidey.
Reporting from the Infrastructure Info news page (2022), the condition of Jalan Bandung -Soreang is now damaged with many holes.The road with potholes does not appear to have been repaired or handled by the service provider.This road hole is very dangerous for the safety of road users, especially motorbikes.
The damage was caused by several factors, including road construction, poor road drainage, road load factors that exceed capacity and road construction financing factors.Road maintenance is needed to strengthen the carrying capacity and feasibility of the road, this is in accordance with the mandate of Government Regulation No. 34 of 2006 concerning roads, as well as Law no.22 of 2009 concerning LLAJ.Based on the conditions or problems mentioned above, it is necessary to conduct research to create an assessment system that can assist in determining priorities for handling road maintenance in the Soreang Region of the Regency.
The research method used to determine priorities is the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method, which is a decision support model developed by (Ghosh & Gope, 2021) Some of the criteria that influence the priority in determining the handling of road segments in this study are road conditions, level of service, level of road damage, daily traffic, government policies, budget capabilities and economic benefits.So that it can determine the priority of which road first gets handling in its maintenance.
This research is in line with research from (Ginanjar & Prajanti, 2021).Where this research also determines the priority of road snacks in Klungkung Regency with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method.Based on the results of this study it is known that the criteria for access to the Area are the most important criteria to be repaired.Research by (Irawan et al., 2016) also conducted research to determine priority scales for handling roads in Kudus District with the Analytical Hierarchy Process Method.The results showed that the criteria for road damage received the highest weight, namely 45.06%, then mobility criteria 20.62%, traffic volume criteria 14.53%, accessibility level criteria 12.78%, and regional development criteria 7.01%.This research is also in line with (Sibero et al., 2020) where this study wanted to find out the determination of the priority scale for handling district roads using the corridor approach.The results showed that road The similarity of this research with previous research is that this research also wants to know the Road Handling Priority Scale using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method.The main renewal of the research and the difference with previous research lies in the research location and road status.The location in this study is the National Road Section in the Soreang Region, Bandung Regency.In addition, the criteria that will be determined to be prioritized for road management are Accessibility, Mobility, Traffic Flow, and Road Conditions.In addition, in this study, researchers wanted to know the priority of road handling based on the sub-criteria for each road handling criteria.The accessibility criteria consist of sub-criteria Connectivity between regions, Topography, Availability of inter-regional road networks, Quantity and quality of roads, Effectiveness of network systems that can be accessed by local residents.Mobility consists of sub-criteria for non-freeway access, has pedestrian access.Traffic flow consists of sub-criteria Trucks, Cars, Motorcycles, Buses.In addition, the condition of the road consists of potholes, collapsed, cracked, grooved wheels, different shoulders, repair of road slope (elevation) based on these sub-criteria research will also be carried out to determine priority road handling.
Based on the background stated above, the researcher is interested in conducting further research by taking the title "Implementation of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method in Determining National Road Handling Priorities in the Soreang Region, Bandung Regency" whose results will be presented in a scientific paper.
