“…The development of transportation infrastructure will facilitate the mobility of goods and open up new areas for trade. Good transportation infrastructure such as road will increase the competitiveness of northern Aceh [15]. The development of road network connectivity in the northern zone of Aceh is still not optimal due to the non-structuring and nondevelopment in the road connectivity with this area.…”

Road network connectivity significantly affects merchandise, transport, and people’s lives. Freight transportation network models are utilized as frameworks of transport policy decisions to estimate the impacts of infrastructure projects on traffic. The goods supply delivery modes in Aceh, Indonesia, are dominated by road-based transportation, where up to 95% of daily needs, such as food, are carried using trucks, buses, and other vehicles. This condition emerged owing to a lack of infrastructure and facilities. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of road network connectivity on goods delivery in the northern zone of Aceh. This research adopted a quantitative technique (survey questionnaire) and involved as many as 420 respondents. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with Analysis of Moment Structures. The result of the study shows the value of regressions weight is 0.375 or 37.5%. It indicates the road network connectivity variable has a significant relationship with the transport of goods. Furthermore, the road network connectivity of the area has the strongest link or significantly influences the activities of regional development. Therefore, the government in the northern zone of Aceh can formulate road network policies oriented towards the development of the area’s new economy and support the implementation of the Arun Lhokseumawe Special Economic Zone, which is the business area and trade laws are different from the rest of the country.

“…Moreover, transportation development will act as a catalyst in expanding the marketing and services to support the growth of various sectors of socio-economic activities, in every zone. In other words, the transportation system (infrastructure) plays a crucial role as an element that connects separate points in space with different mechanisms of activities which might be interdependent on one another (Behdani et al, 2016;Fithra, Saleh, and Erlina 2017).…”

“…Lhokseumawe is a National Centre of Activities (NCA) in the Aceh region that provides the flow of people, goods and services from exterior region into the city of Lhokseumawe or vice versa, domestically and internationally (Fithra et al). NCA is centered in Lhokseumawe City and part of Aceh Utara Regency which serves as a national, regional and international service center supported by Lhokseumawe Industrial Estate, Lhokseumawe Port and Malikussaleh Airport (located in Aceh Utara District area which is a support area of Lhokseumawe NCA) (Department of Transportation, Communications, Information and Telemanika GoA, 2011;Fithra, Sirojuzilam, and Erlina, 2017).…”

Purpose-This study aims to analyze and assess the relation of freight transportation for regional development in the north zone of Aceh. The impact of freight transportation to accelerate the delivery of goods as observed through several indicators including regulation, retribution, freight entrepreneur, trucker, size of truck bin, punctuality, loading and unloading systems on regional planning supporting has been focus of this study. Design/Methodology/Approach-The freight transportation in north zone of Aceh, covering Lhokseumawe, Aceh Utara, Bireuen, BenerMeriah and Aceh Tengah regencies will be examined. In several indicators including regulation, retribution, freight entrepreneur, trucker, size of truck bin, punctuality, loading and unloading systems the freight transportation will be surveyed for the analysis. The factors which contribute in the development of the area through freight transportation are the economic growth, human resources improvement, management of land use and environmental harmonization. This regional development approach aims to determine a connection between the two variables. Findings-The results of the study show that variables of freight transportation in several indicators including regulation, retribution, freight entrepreneur, trucker, size of truck bin, punctuality, loading and unloading systems have a significant impact on regional development. It is indicated by the value of 0.214 in the regression weight result. Research Limitations/Implications-This research has implications on the relation of freight transportation with regard to several indicators including regulation, retribution, freight entrepreneur, trucker, size of truck bin, punctuality, loading and unloading systems on the regional development based on the aspect of economic growth, human resources improvement, management of land use and environmental harmonization.
