ANALISIS KEBIJAKAN PEMBANGUNAN JALAN PROVINSI DALAM MENINGKATKAN KONEKTIVITAS WILAYAH DI PROVINSI LAMPUNG

Abstrak

This study aims to analyse provincial road development policies in increasing regional connectivity in Lampung Province, specifically focusing on policy rationality and the mechanism for determining road segment priorities. This research employs a qualitative approach with a policy study design, utilising document analysis as the primary data collection method. Data sources include regional planning documents (RKPD), strategic plans (Renstra), and budgeting reports, which are analysed through content analysis to identify policy patterns and actor dynamics. The results reveal a significant discrepancy between the integrative vision of regional planning and the reality of atomistic implementation. Policy effectiveness is frequently distorted by a dominant technocratic-instrumental approach that reduces complex connectivity issues to mere physical targets and budget absorption. Furthermore, the determination of priority road segments is a manifestation of the complex dialectic between technical rationality and political-administrative considerations, heavily influenced by the negotiation capacity of key actors within the regional government system. This research recommends a paradigm shift toward data-driven policy with transparent and objective priority criteria. Strengthening institutional synchronisation and accountability is essential to ensure that road infrastructure investment functions as a genuine catalyst for inclusive and sustainable regional economic growth in Lampung.
