TRANSPORTATION DISASTER RISK ANALYSIS ON THE ROAD SEGMENT TAPAN (SOUTH PESISIR, WEST SUMATERA) – SUNGAI PENUH (KERINCI, JAMBI)

ABSTRACT

Road segments ranging from local roads to national roads are the most urgent
arteries in the mobilization of goods and people and determine the progress of
economic development. Therefore the road must be constructed in accordance with
the standards set out in the laws and regulations, including here the national road
that has high economic value that connects the two regions of the two provinces
namely Tapan Pesisir Selatan in the West Sumatra province and the Sungai Penuh
Kerinci in Jambi province the two regions is closely related in economic and trade
relations and the distance is only close to 64 km, but the terrain conditions have the
potential to cause traffic accidents because natural factors penetrate row hills that
have high geographical and national road standardization factors that do not have
the attributes of road safety equipment complete. In this regard, it is necessary to
examine how much the level of potential hazards caused by roads through disaster
risk analysis in the transportation sector using the disaster risk analysis model. The
results of the analysis using the disaster risk analysis model of the Tapan Sumbar -
Sungai Penuh Kerinci Jambi road have a high hazard vulnerability level of 8.05 or
above 5 means that this road needs to be improved both its construction and road
safety equipment.
