Abstract:
Road transport is an important sector of economic activity, especially in developing countries, where it plays an essential role in marketing agricultural products and providing access to health, education, and agricultural inputs and extension services. Many questions still exist related with transportation infrastructure performance's impact and how further policy must be defined according to current condition, especially in city/municipal levels. This fact shows that there is a need to analyze the relation between transportation's infrastructures with economic measurements.
This paper has an objective to study the relationship between road networks with economic parameters. The result can be used to figure more clearly its impact to economic growth.
Further benefit is that it can be used as a base to allocate further funding allocation. Several models has been build, tested using statistical analysis, and reported in this paper. The model to predict amount of money spend to finance road sector is presented by models with DBM (different between APBD and fund needed for maintenance) as independent variable, which population and road length variable as independent variables. Analysis cannot build a good model to relate DAK (special allocation fund) with the road index.
