A road is the most critical infrastructure in economic development; therefore, it should be maintained at a certain level of service. In improving road quality, the satisfaction of road users can also be used as a reference to determine whether the road is still in good condition or if handling is needed to improve the comfort of the road users. This study aims to map the attributes that affect the satisfaction of local road users using the Importance Satisfaction Analysis and Customer Satisfaction Index methods, identify the main priority attributes that need to be improved, and assess the impact of concretization according to the community perceptions. The study found that road supporting facilities (road shoulder, drainage), the width of the road, smooth flow in and out of the road, prevention of stagnant water during the rainy season are the most priority attributes to be improved. The satisfaction index value is 67.22%, suggesting that overall, road users are satisfied with the existence of local road concretization in the city of Padang.
There are many bridges that need to be maintained in a provincial road network, with limited funds for bridge maintenance, many bridge criteria (average daily traffic, economic benefits, fund budget, technical conditions, bridge hierarchy, spatial planning, flood potential, type of damage, erosion potential, age and surface concrete, etc.), and various levels of conditions, are a number of criteria that are taken into account in the decision making by the government as an institution responsible for the functioning of roads and bridges. The selection of bridge maintenance priorities in West Sumatra Province was decided through a coordination meeting between agencies, and sometimes relatively without going through sufficient technical analysis. This research initiated, the selected criteria to be taken into consideration, the order of the important criteria in the selected network segment. This study involved a number of road and bridge maintenance experts at the Ministry of Public Works, Road and Bridge Research and Development Institutions, as well as the Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning of West Sumatra Province. A combination of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (to determine weighted criteria) and VIKOR-Modification methods (to determine the order of choice of bridges to be handled) are selected. There are eight criteria that can be used in determining the priority of bridge maintenance, and the priority sequence of the most important are: bridge technical conditions, aging of the bridge, average daily traffic, economic benefits, road function, budget, disaster risk (Flood, Landslides, Tsunamis) and Spatial Plans.
Population growth in urban areas tends to be faster than in rural areas; it is due to various factors. Population growth has increased housing demand. The need for housing should be filled with the provision of land and houses. The most common problems in urban housing provision are less urban land available for housing and higher the price. It is happening in cities of West Sumatra, changed of agricultural land (rice field) into housing although the Government of the Republic of Indonesia has issued Act No.26 / 2007 on Spatial Planning, which sets the land allotment for spatial in Indonesia. Supporting this, in the year 2009, the Indonesian government issued, Indonesian Act No. 41/ 2009 on Sustainable Land Farming Protection, concerning on sustainable land for food agriculture, that agricultural land must be maintained in order to produce agricultural products. This paper describes to what extent of the conversion of agriculture land into housing in the last five years in several regions in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Illustrate the process of transferring land functions (from rice filed to housing), which is permitted by government regulations. This study shows that there has been a relatively significant change in the function of a rice field in urban areas. The lack of government records on land use change needs to be an important note. A legal product is governing the conversion of agricultural land, Law enforcement of spatial use rules, detailed spatial plan, reliable maps as a reference (Spatial Planning) in determining the land use of the proposed location for the house to be built, should be of particular concern by the government. It is necessary to coordinate and integrate housing and agricultural planning so that housing construction can meet the needs of the house, on the other hand, the need for rice product can be produced without having to reduce agricultural land.
Road construction has negative side effects on the environment, including reduced non-renewable natural resources, increased emissions, construction waste, reduced productive land and damaged ecosystems. To minimize this problem environmentally friendly efforts are needed in the implementation of road construction. One of the efforts made is to use the concept of greenroad. This concept can be applied at every stage of the implementation of road construction, especially at the stage of road construction and maintenance. This study aims to assess the application of greenroad criteria in construction contract documents using the Content Analysis method. While the case study examined is the Payakumbuh City Road Rehabilitation / Maintenance Contract document in 2016, 2017 and 2018 with a contract value above four billion rupiah. Greenroad assessment criteria use PUPR Minister Circular Number 04/SE/M/2018 concerning GreenRoad Ranking Guidelines. In this guide the assessment of greenroads is grouped into five categories, 35 subcategories and 84 criteria. The categories are Conservation of environment, water, air and nature (KL), Provision of transportation and community (TM), Construction implementation activities (AK), Use of materials and natural resources (MS), Pavement technology (TP). The criteria contained in each subcategory have a weighted value. The maximum total value possible in this scoring system is 100. While the greenroad ranking system is divided into four levels, represented by the number of stars. While the greenroad ratings for contracts in 2017 and 2018 are 2 stars with 15.01 each. The increase in value in 2017 is in the AK category with a value of 3.36 in 2016 to 5.46 in 2017. While the opportunity to add green road criteria to the Periodic Road Rehabilitation/ Maintenance contract can be applied in the GCC (general terms of the contract) and technical specifications as many as 26 criteria.

Although infrastructure development aims to improve the welfare of the whole society, it poses adverse environmental effects in practice. One of such developments carried out by the Indonesian government is the trans-Sumatra toll road, which created social and environmental problems, particularly on the Sicincin-Padang toll road in West Sumatra. The affected communities in this province lost their homes, agricultural land and livelihoods to lifestyle changes. One of the villages experienced significant flooding due to large water discharge after clearing the land. Therefore, this research aims to explain the mitigation of socio-ecological risks in developing toll road infrastructure in West Sumatra. This research was carried out using the multi-method approach with qualitative and quantitative data analyzed by CATWOE analysis. The results explained that the construction of toll roads in West Sumatra has social and environmental impacts. Social and ecological risk mitigation is carried out by formulating policies through a soft system methodology (SSM) by involving many parties, especially affected communities, in decision-making.
