Abstract

The KH. Mustain Road Corridor in Tuban Regency is a strategic route for accessing religious and cultural tourist sites. However, the pedestrian path faces several issues, including pavement damage, a lack of supporting facilities, and the repurposing of pedestrian spaces. The purpose of this research is to calculate the spatial comfort level of pedestrian paths based on pedestrian path factors, pedestrian-friendliness, and public space. The method used was field observations analyzed using the Thurstone scale and questionnaires given to 269 respondents aged between 18 and 45 years. The research was conducted on three segments of the pedestrian path, each measuring 880 meters in length on the east and west sides of the corridor. The results show that segment 1 has a comfortable spatial comfort level (average 5.078), while segments 2 and 3 have a somewhat comfortable level (average 4.622 and 4.498). While the vegetation factor contributes the most to comfort, the availability and placement of street furniture as well as the repurposing of space are the main issues. These results indicate that pedestrian paths need to be reorganized to meet national standards and have inclusive and pedestrian-friendly supporting facilities.

Abstract

The inappropriate use of roadside space (Rumija) can cause lateral obstructions and reduce traffic performance. This study aims to identify the forms and intensity of Rumija use, analyse the performance of Muradi Road in Sungai Penuh, analyse its impact on road performance, and formulate management strategies. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive-evaluative design. Data were obtained through observation of Rumija, road geometric measurements, surveys of traffic volume and lateral obstructions, documentation, and interviews with three expert informants. The analysis of the road section's performance was based on the 2023 Indonesian Road Performance Index (PKJI), whilst the management strategies were formulated based on expert judgement using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach. The research findings indicate that the use of Rumija is not yet in line with its intended function, primarily due to parking on the carriageway and road shoulders, street vendor activities and motorcycle taxi stands on the pavements, as well as blocked drainage systems. The maximum traffic volume reached 2,082.8 vehicle-passes per hour with an effective capacity of 1,689.9 vehicle-passes per hour. The degree of saturation ranged from 0.86 to 1.16, the average speed was 12.5 km/h, and the Level of Service (LOS) was D-F. Side obstructions were predominantly caused by vehicles entering and exiting the road, accounting for 35 per cent. Management strategies include parking control, the reorganisation of street vendors, the restoration of pavements, drainage improvements, and strengthened inter-agency coordination. Road performance needs to be improved through the restoration of the Rumija's function and the integrated and sustainable control of ancillary activities.

Abstract

As the capital of North Sumatra Province, Medan City demands the availability of qualified urban infrastructure to offset its dynamic development pace. One of the crucial elements supporting public movement is pedestrian facilities or sidewalks. However, the current condition of the pedestrian paths along the Jalan Pangeran Diponegoro – Jalan KH. Zainul Arifin corridor is not functioning optimally due to widespread illegal parking occupancy, street vendor activities, and a lack of complementary facilities. This study was conducted to assess the existing condition of pedestrian facilities on Jalan Pangeran Diponegoro – Jalan KH. Zainul Arifin while formulating tactical strategies to improve service quality and user comfort. The research approach applied is a quantitative descriptive statistical method. The study results indicate that the utilization and feasibility of pedestrian paths at that location are still below the required comfort standards. Several fundamental obstacles found in the field include the misuse of sidewalk functions by parked vehicles and vendors, as well as the scarcity of essential supporting elements. Based on these findings, this study formulates a number of technical recommendations, including the enforcement of parking zones, relocation of vending areas, and the provision of representative supporting facilities. The implementation of these proposed improvements is expected to create a safe and comfortable walking space, as well as serve as a stimulus for sustainable transportation infrastructure development in urban areas.

Abstract

Soft soil is characterized by low bearing capacity and high degree of compressibility, which could potentially cause ground subsidence and slope instability in road construction. This study aims to analyze the stability of a road embankment and predict the magnitude of soil consolidation settlement in the Junction Bypass–Pekanbaru Toll Road Construction Project at STA 203+850. The methods employed were Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation method and numerical modeling using the finite element method (FEM). To determine which method more accurately represents actual field conditions, the calculated settlement values were compared with settlement plate monitoring data. The results showed that the consolidation settlement calculated using Terzaghi's method was 0.328 m, whereas the finite element analysis yielded a settlement of 0.171 m. These results were compared with the settlement plate measurement of 0.222 m, indicating that the finite element method produced a settlement prediction closer to the actual field conditions. The slope stability analysis resulted in a factor of safety of 1.94 using Culmann's method and 1.04 using the finite element method. Therefore, the finite element method provides a settlement prediction that more closely represents field conditions, while the embankment slope remains in a critical stability condition.

Abstract

The rapid growth of population density and activity in Deli Serdang Regency has led to an increase in traffic flow that is not proportional to road capacity, particularly on William Iskandar Pasar V Road, which is equipped with a U-Turn facility. The presence of this U-Turn causes vehicle speed reduction, queuing, and a decline in traffic performance. This study is based on the Indonesian Highway Capacity Guidelines (PKJI) 2023, the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation No. PM 96 of 2015 concerning road level of service, and the U-Turn Planning Guidelines 2005 as references for alternative solutions. Data collection was carried out through primary data from direct field surveys (traffic volume, side friction, speed, and road geometry) over seven days during peak hours, as well as secondary data from relevant institutions. The data were processed and analyzed using PKJI 2023 calculations and simulated using PTV VISSIM software. The results show that the highest degree of saturation reached 1.35 on weekdays with a level of service F, along with significantly long travel times and queue lengths for vehicles performing U-Turns, and an accepted VISSIM simulation validation (GEH 3,565). It is concluded that the U-Turn facility significantly affects the decline in road performance, and recommended solutions include relocating the

Abstract

The subgrade is an important component of the pavement structures as it receives and distributes the traffic loads thru the pavement layers. The bearing capacity of subgrade is low, which can accelerate the deterioration of pavement and reduce the service life of pavement. The objective of this research is to analyze the value of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) estimated from Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing and to evaluate the variation of subgrade bearing capacity in the Penumangan–Unit VI Road Section, West Tulang Bawang Regency. DCP testings were carried out at 24 observation points by using 8 kg hammer and 60° cone. The penetration data were converted to CBR values by using the appropriate DCP–CBR correlation provided in the Indonesian DCP testing guideline. The results indicate that the estimated CBR values are in the range of 5.87% to 8.26% with average value of 6.83%. The evaluation criterion of 6% indicates that there are 21 observation points (87.50%) that have a CBR value of at least 6% and there are three observation points (12.50%) that are below the criterion. The lowest values were recorded at STA 13+000 (5.87%), STA 14+600 (5.92%) and STA 16+600 (5.94%), while the highest value was observed at STA 14+800 (8.26%). These results indicate that the subgrade condition is generally adequate based on the chosen criteria, but there are still localized weak spots throughout the road section. Thus, DCP testing can be used as a rapid, low-cost field screening procedure to identify spatial variations of subgrade bearing capacity and to help prioritize further investigation and road maintenance.

Abstract

Jalan BM Muda is an urban road in Padangsidimpuan City that supports community mobility and local activities. Increasing service age and traffic have produced various pavement distresses that may reduce road performance. This study evaluates the pavement condition of Jalan BM Muda STA 0+000–2+000 using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and Bina Marga methods. Field surveys identified distress type, severity, and extent, while a traffic survey provided average daily traffic (LHR) data. The PCI analysis produced an average score of 37.91, classified as Poor. The Bina Marga analysis produced a Priority Order (UP) of 10, indicating routine maintenance. The different results arise from the distinct parameters and purposes of the two methods. PCI measures physical pavement condition from the type, severity, and extent of distress, whereas Bina Marga combines road condition and traffic volume to determine treatment priorities. Thus, the road section is physically Poor under PCI and is assigned routine maintenance under Bina Marga.

Abstract

Road pavement distress is one of the major problems that can affect the level of service, user comfort, and road safety. This study aims to analyze the level of pavement distress on the RA Basyid–Fajar Baru Road Section, South Lampung Regency, using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method. The study was conducted through a pavement condition survey along a 2,500-meter road section by identifying the type, extent, and severity of pavement distress in each observation segment. The survey data were subsequently analyzed using the PCI procedure to determine the pavement condition value for each segment and the average PCI value of the entire road section. The results identified four major types of pavement distress: potholes, patches, depressions, and alligator cracking. Based on the measured distress areas, patches accounted for the largest proportion at 58.64%, followed by alligator cracking at 36.39%, potholes at 4.64%, and depressions at 0.33%. The assessment results indicate variations in pavement conditions among the observed segments. The highest PCI value was recorded at STA 0+800–0+900, with a value of 55.00, which falls into the Good category. Meanwhile, STA 0+100–0+200 and STA 1+100–1+200 recorded PCI values ranging from 2 to 7 and were classified as Failed . Other segments were categorized from Poor to Failed. Overall, the average PCI value of the RA Basyid–Fajar Baru Road Section was 29.92 , indicating a Poor pavement condition. These findings demonstrate that parts of the pavement have experienced significant deterioration and require appropriate treatment based on the severity and characteristics of distress in each segment. The results can serve as a basis for establishing more targeted pavement maintenance and rehabilitation priorities.

Abstract

India’s financial system experienced a major shift between 2014 and 2020 as policy initiatives and technology converged to expand formal access. The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Aadhaar-based identification, and the Unified Payments Interface together created a digital public infrastructure that allowed banks and FinTech firms to reach previously excluded populations at lower cost. Adult account ownership rose from about 53 per cent in 2014 to nearly 80 per cent by 2017, while the number of Jan Dhan accounts climbed to roughly 38 crore by early 2020. Digital payment volumes grew sharply after the 2016 demonetisation and the launch of UPI. FinTech companies, numbering more than 1,200 by 2020, played a central role in payments, alternative credit assessment, and distribution of simple insurance and investment products. Despite these gains, many accounts remained lightly used, formal credit for micro-enterprises stayed limited, and digital literacy and connectivity gaps persisted, especially in rural areas. This paper reviews the policy architecture, the growth of the FinTech ecosystem, the measurable progress in access and usage, and the constraints that remained visible up to 2020. It concludes that India built a strong foundation for digital financial inclusion, yet sustained effort was still required to convert account ownership into active, meaningful participation in the formal financial system.

Abstract

Healthcare delivery in the rural regions of India is a rather complex tapestry of challenge and opportunity, reflecting on the broader socio-economic imbalance of the nation. Sixty percent of the nation lives in rural areas; however they face significant barriers accessing quality healthcare services. Therefore, the juxtaposition between modern medical facilities in urban centers against the backdrop of gross inadequacies in health infrastructure in rural regions depicts an important gap that should be addressed. The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of healthcare delivery in rural India by examining existing infrastructure, access to healthcare services, and available resources in rural regions. It explores the key challenges that hinder effective healthcare, such as geographic barriers, inadequate facilities, shortage of healthcare professionals, and socio-cultural factors. The research assesses the impact of government healthcare policies and programs, evaluating their effectiveness in addressing the healthcare needs of rural populations and the extent of their reach. The study also explore how technology, particularly telemedicine, mobile health initiatives, and digital platforms, can improve healthcare delivery by bridging gaps in the rural healthcare system. Lastly, the role of community-based healthcare solutions is examined, focusing on their potential to promote sustainable health practices and enhance health outcomes in rural areas. The multifaceted approach aims to identify actionable solutions to improve healthcare delivery in rural India.
