Kebijakan Kunci Manajemen Transportasi Kota Dalam Masa dan Pasca Reformasi

When we were still enjoying economic growth, it was already not that easy to plan an investment policy in transport and to manage the urban transport system, because at that time we already had a big problem, i.e. lack of government budget for handling the large scale demand and complex national transportation problem. Private sector participation started to be widely offered at that time, and up to now the atmosphere is still being improved. Suddenly, we face an economic flu or 'crisis' that will remain so far the next couple of years. This paper tries to answer questions that will naturaly appear, such as what is going to be the basic policy for urban transport management? What would be the objective and how should the planning approach now be adapted? And also, what ar the main issues that have to be put in front and what would the strategy be? For sure, in the meantime the practice of development planning, which has been based on growth theory paradigm, will no longer be applicable. With this reality, the main activity of urban transport management should be in optimal management of the existing infrastructure and facilities. If there is to be a new investment for urban transport system development in the era of 'crisis', it will be highly competing with other important sectors, such as agriculture, health and small business sectors. Such investment, if any, should be examined comprehensively about its cost-effectiveness from the social welfare view point. Within the urban transport system, institutional reform either in structure or procedure is a must. Lists of reforms that have been raised even before the crisis are still most likely relevant. Therefore they have to be continued with further action. This paper also tries to list the necessary improvements in urban transport management system that have to be considered during and after the reform period

Krisis Perencanaan Transportasi Kota

In Indonesia, the study on the correlation between land-use and transportation was started 21 cyears ago following similiar studies conducted by developed countries 43 years ago. The main purpose of these studies was to prepare an efficient transportation plan for a city or region in order to facilitate the increase in the traffic as the result of the growth of social-economic activities in the city in the future Due to inconsistency between plan and reality in the implementation phase, in the developed countries critiques on the failures of these studies emerged in the middle of 1970"²s, at the time when the methods and technologies were being imported by developed countries, and in Indonesia, there has been a crisis in urban transportation planning. This article tries to look back at history of the implementation of similar studies in large cities of Indonesia and in the neighboring countries. Some weaknesses of the studies and the modeling will be identified. At the end, the article discusses the weaknesses in the implementation phase of urban transportation plan in Indonesia and alternative policies for the future

An analysis of activity timing and mode choice behavior for fixed time workers

Generally, the activity based travel demand modeling was resulted from various professions of individuals such as students, workers and non-workers. The model cannot properly represent travel behavior because their characteristics of activities timing and time allocation in a day significantly different. The purpose of this paper is to analyze travel behavior of out of home non-work activities of working groups who have fixed time working hours within a day in location study Palembang City, Indonesia. The effort to explains the travel behavior is conducted through developing activity timing and mode choice model for out of home non work activities. The activity timing and mode choice model are developed as multinomial logit model by adding the utility function of time allocation for non-work activities. There are 9 alternatives in the model in which the alternatives are the combination of 3 activity time schedule and 3 alternative modes. The result of the model significantly reveals that the characteristic of working individuals in deciding certain modes are not only caused by the mode attributes, such as travel time and cost, but also by the type and time allocation for non-working activities related to that travel

Selection of ports, tariffs, service frequency, and ship size for a SSS Route in Java Island

Short Sea Shipping (SSS) is one of modes to reduce the dominance of trucking mode of freight transportation in Indonesia. It concerns to multimodal freight transportation network system through sea mode transportation line. As a maritime nation, it is possible to develop SSS lines in Indonesia. The development of the SSS lines is expected to improve the continuity of goods which supporting the efficiency and effectiveness of the national logistics system. It develops integrated connectivity in local, inter-island and national scale. The objective of this study is to obtain optimum SSS route with objective function to maximize the difference of total transportation cost by designing SSS operating system model. Several factors are considered in SSS operating system model as policy measures, such as transit ports selection, tariffs, services, and ship sizes. This SSS model is approached by Incremental Assignment method. SSS operating system model will be applied to the freight mobility in Java
