“…Banister and Berechman, 2001). As Meijers et al (2012) point out, these linkages have been debated ever since the first roads, railways and canals were built (e.g. Jefferson, 1928;Mitchell, 1964;Mohring and Harwitz, 1962;Dodgson, 1974;Chandra and Thompson, 2000), and this research field has remained vibrant in the face of the deployment of more recent infrastructures and services such as high-speed railway and airline networks (e.g.…”

“…Button, 1998;Brueckner, 2003;Ishutkina and Hansman, 2009), but also more implicitly because some distributive effects may remain hidden (e.g. Meijers et al, 2012). An additional problem is that in analyses of the effects of transport infrastructures and services, spatial economic development -however conceivedis an endogenous variable, i.e.…”

“…It also eases the traffic flow in developing areas, improves the distribution of goods and services, and provides equity development among regions in a country [1,2]. The benefits of highway construction directly affect the mobility and accessibility of people and goods and time travel as well as the other benefits of the regional competitiveness and national gross domestic product [3,4].…”

Most mega-project infrastructure such as highway construction requires an enormous amount of cost. This situation might be a problem to developing countries that have limited national budget plan. On the other hand, the capability to transfer the funding of infrastructure depends on the project attractiveness to the private sector. The evaluation to involve in the project should be supported by a significant value for money from the business perspective. Optimum feasibility plays a vital role in bridging the partnership between the government and private interests. The study uses a case study of highway project development of Trans-Sumatera highway road (TSHR) that spans about 2700 km to elaborate on how project feasibility can be improved through creative method. Value engineering (VE) approach as a systematic way to generate innovative ideas by combining multidiscipline backgrounds perspective is used. The study shows that additional functions for the project include integration with motorbike toll road, dry port, and railway line; others also include tourism, fiber optic, and service area development. The innovative ideas have contributed to the significant increase in the internal rate of return (IRR) to the project from 7.79 to 12.76%. The study also formulates institutional scheme through build operate sharing transfer (BOST) which administers government's role in the project development.

Indonesian government attempts to improve connectivity and to increase regional activities in Sumatera Island through the development of Trans Sumatera Toll Road (TSTR). However, despite its benefits to local economic development in Sumatera, the project shows low feasibility due to a low amount of investment. It can be attributed from the lack of planning in the initial phase to produce a comprehensive route that considers the various potentials of the regions. Thus, this research aims to investigate alternative route planning of Trans Sumatera Toll Road particularly in this paper for Central Sumatera by studying Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), population and other significant factors. This research exposes cities and districts in Riau, West Sumatera, and Jambi which potentially contribute to the regional economy. Each selected towns and districts will be integrated with the intermodal system and connected to other functions to establish the Trans Sumatera Toll Road project in Central Sumatera. Compared to existing estimation of investment from public records, this alternative route has generated a competitive cost of investment which is estimated around 118,053,400,074,696 rupiahs. The research findings are expected to become the basis to improve other similar infrastructure toll road project development. AbstractPembangunan Perencanaan Rute Infrastruktur Jalan: Meningkatkan Kelayakan Proyek Jalan Tol. Pemerintah Indonesia berupaya untuk meningkatkan konektivitas dan meningkatkan kegiatan ekonomi regional di Pulau Sumatera melalui pengembangan Jalan Tol Trans Sumatera (JTTS). Namun demikian, proyek tersebut masih menunjukkan kelayakan rendah yang disebabkan minimnya kelayakan investasi. Hal ini disebabkan kurangnya perencanaan pada tahap awal proyek dalam menghasilkan rute komprehensif dengan mempertimbangkan berbagai potensi daerah. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan perencanaan rute alternatif Jalan Tol Trans Sumatera (JTTS) khususnya Sumatera bagian tengah. Hal ini dilakukan dengan mempelajari Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB), populasi dan faktor signifikan lainnya. Penelitian akan menghasilkan kota dan kabupaten di Riau, Sumatera Barat dan Jambi yang potensinya diintegrasikan dengan sistem intermodal dan terhubung dengan fungsi lain pada proyek JTTS bagian Sumatera Tengah. Dibandingkan dengan estimasi biaya yang tercatat dalam catatan publik, rute alternatif ini menghasilkan biaya yang kompetitif yang mencapai 118.053.400.074.696 rupiah. Luaran penelitian diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai dasar untuk pengembangan proyek infrastruktur lain di Indonesia.
