<![CDATA[This study aims to develop a multi-criteria prioritization framework for provincial road maintenance and rehabilitation under conditions of fiscal stress and post-disaster recovery needs in Aceh Province, Indonesia. A Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach was applied by integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for criteria weighting and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for ranking 84 provincial road segments across six main criteria: road technical condition, traffic volume, economic importance, accessibility and social aspects, development policy, and strategic area value, based on aggregated expert judgments from nine respondents representing three key agencies. The results indicate that development policy, road technical condition, and accessibility and social aspects emerged as the most influential criteria, with priority segments concentrated along corridors requiring recovery-oriented interventions. Validation against expert judgment yielded a high Spearman rank correlation (ρ = 0.9021), confirming the consistency and stability of the model. This study contributes by integrating fiscal pressure indicators and post-disaster damage variables into a single AHP-TOPSIS framework at the provincial government level in a developing country, offering a transparent and context-sensitive reference for recovery-oriented budgeting and annual road program planning.]]>
