Abstract

Sampang Regency is one of the cities located on the island of Madura which has natural resources potential supporting to their survival and the growth of tourism. One of the most visited places is Ketapang with those many tourist attractions. The road damage will cause the difficulty to access that place as it is the main road. Furthermore, it is often passed by the large vehicles carrying any kind of materials such as wood, tobacco, rice and others for sale. In order to prevent the continuous road damage thus it is required to do its repair handling. In this study, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method and the Bina Marga method are used to determine the type and grade of road damage. Therefore, a direct survey was carried out where the 5 km long road was divided into 50 segments. The results of the study found that there were 5 types of damage. For the average PCI value of 75.94 it goes into a routine maintenance and for the Bina Marga method the priority order (UP) gets a score of 11 that belongs to the routine maintenance. The repair methods used for a routine road maintenance are P2 repair (asphalt), P4 repair (crack filling), P5 repair (patching hole), and P6 repair (levelling). Meanwhile, the budgetary costs of those repairs spend around IDR 97.000.000 (ninety seven million rupiah).
