Level of Accessibility, Connectivity of Existing Road Networks in Supporting Mobility of Productive Area (Case Study: Sidenreng Rappang District)

Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, is one of the regions with significant
potential in the agricultural sector. Improving the economy through the agricultural sector needs to be
balanced with the role of infrastructure, especially road networks. The purpose of this research is to
determine the potential of the area based on the accessibility, connectivity and mobility of the road network
with a focus on the distribution of agricultural products. The descriptive quantitative research method uses
SWOT analysis with data collection from 30 respondents from the stakeholder side using a questionnaire
survey. The research results based on the regional potential analysis show that rice, coconut and laying hens
are the leading commodities. The analysis of the road network for the accessibility aspect shows that five
out of eleven sub-districts still have poor accessibility, the connectivity aspect shows that each area is
already connected, and the mobility aspect shows that the mobility index has not yet been achieved in three
out of eleven sub-districts. The results of the SWOT analysis of the strategy for improving the road network
based on the strengths and opportunities (SO) are as follows: improving the road network according to its
roles and functions, maximising technical programmes according to the role of the regional budget (APBD),
and making investments in infrastructure strengthening adapted to the region's potential.
