Road Condition Analysis and Maintenance Strategies using the Bina Marga Method: A Case Research of the Maospati-BTS. Magetan City Road Section

Road infrastructure plays a crucial role in enhancing economic development and community mobility. However, road deterioration due to high traffic volumes and environmental factors necessitates effective maintenance strategies. This research aims to assess road conditions and develop appropriate maintenance strategies for the Maospati – Bts. Magetan City road section using the Bina Marga method. The research employs a quantitative approach with a survey method, where data collection involves field surveys, road damage measurements, and interviews with relevant authorities. The findings reveal various damages, including cracks, potholes, and rutting, requiring a combination of routine maintenance and rehabilitation efforts. The estimated maintenance cost is IDR 333,468,376.00, emphasizing the importance of data-driven planning for budget optimization. The research further suggests integrating technologies like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance data accuracy and improve maintenance strategies. The implications of this research include providing insights into effective maintenance planning, which can serve as a reference for future road management strategies, promoting sustainable infrastructure, and improving road safety and comfort for users.
