Optimization Potential Value Added of Sunda Strait Bridge Construction in Accessibility Function Model

Abstract

In the implementation of Sunda Strait Bridge (SSB) development as a public transportation facility, there is a consistent purpose with the acceleration vision and the expansion of Indonesian Economic Development that is “Creating an Independent, advanced society, equitable and a prosperous Indonesia Community”, as measured qualitatively in the document of MP3EI (Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian Economic Development). In order to optimize the connectivity program in the national territory, it is necessary to measure the quantitative value of the MP3EI document substance in the accessibility functions model to accelerate the country development in achieving its prosperity. The main indicator of the accessibility measurement is subjective and qualitative, therefore it is necessary to carry out quantitative assessment to identify the accessibility, thus the difference between those with and without the construction of Sunda Strait Bridge can be measured. The current study is a case study of the accessibility function modeling of the geographic transportation covering five model countries, namely Indonesia (Suramadu Bridge), Japan (Akashi Kaikyo Bridge), Korea (Incheon Bridge), China (Hangzhou Bridge), and Malaysia (Penang Bridge). The purpose of this study is in the context of the determination of value-added gap measurement tool, and as a control function in an effort to minimize the regional connectivity failure due to the bridge infrastructure construction. Value-added gap is the accessibility value which is constantly growing and becoming a priority, so it is necessary to optimize the activity management control on the variables and the identified function accessibility. The main research focuses on the indicator formulation of value added in the functional accessibility that takes into account various aspects of both qualitative and quantitative. The validation results were obtained from the questionnaires survey and interviews. The data were obtained from two (two) sources, the qualitative methods which derived from the questionnaire surveys and interviews result combined with the quantitative methods which the data obtained from BPS (Statistics Indonesia), coupled with references from various sources, and the entire data were then holistically tested using dynamic modeling system with Powersim Studio 7 software. The results of research analysis are of the form of quantitative formulation policy especially in transportation management, where the construction of Sunda Strait Bridge can increase the accessibility value in line with the increase in the value of GRDP, and if it is not with it, the accessibility value is low. Therefore to support the strengthening national territory connectivity to achieve the maximum result, it is absolutely necessary to construct the Sunda Strait Bridge.
