The Power of Zakat in Contemporary Development: How Islamic Philanthropy Alleviates the Economic Impact of Toll Road Projects on MSMEs

This research examines the impact of toll road construction on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) using Creative Destruction theory and contemporary Islamic philanthropy. The construction of toll roads, although accelerating distribution and accessibility, has had a significant negative impact on MSMEs in various regions. This study explores how MSMEs, particularly in North Sumatra, Pekalongan, and Brebes, are experiencing a decline in income due to reduced vehicle traffic. In addition, this article highlights the role of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah as mechanisms to increase the resilience of MSMEs. This research uses a qualitative approach with observation methods, in-depth interviews, and a literature review, showing that Islamic philanthropy can support the adaptation and sustainability of MSMEs amidst infrastructure changes. The research results show that the negative impact of toll road construction is significant, especially for MSMEs that depend on vehicle traffic, such as dodol in Serdang Bedagai, batik in Pekalongan, and restaurants in Brebes. The turnover decline reached 70-80% in some regions. Many MSMEs were also forced to lay off their employees due to decreased income. However, this study also found that Islamic philanthropic practices such as zakat, infaq, and sadaqah play an important role in increasing the resilience of MSMEs. MSME players who regularly carry out zakat, infaq, and sadaqah can show better adaptation, including product diversification and transition to online business models. Thus, Islamic philanthropy provides short-term assistance and supports long-term positive economic changes for MSMEs.

Enhancing operational efficiency: implementing business process improvement by integrating the command center in the Indonesian toll road operator company

<p>Business process improvement is a well-known technique for organizations to identify processes that enhance business performance. This study aims to analyze and improve business processes in the company's principal operational processes that are directly related to controlling service requests for assistance with traffic problems on the toll road (Command Center), specifically in communication and handling requests for assistance and complaints from users of one of the toll road operators in Indonesia. Research is conducted by identifying existing processes, the underlying causes of existing problems, and analyzing business processes using the Business Process Improvement methodology and the Bizagi Modeler with Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN). An improvement within this approach is thus examined in a particular scenario. The as-is and to-be processes are measured using a technique of improvement design called the ESIA approach, consisting of four steps: eliminate, simplify, integrate, and automate. The result of the integration of Command Center services can decrease the response time for assisting requests from toll road users and enhance cost-effectiveness, improving customer satisfaction and the overall quality of toll road service.<em></em></p>

Analysis of Influencing Factor for Rear-end Crash on Toll Road: An Examination Using Self-reported Questionnaires

Background Rear-end crashes on toll roads have been a significant issue in Indonesia. This type of crash exists and needs a mitigation strategy. However, limited research exists examining the mechanism and contributing factors of these crashes in Indonesia. This research aimed to describe how rear-end crashes have occurred on toll roads in Indonesia, describe associated risk factors, develop a model for assessing the risk of rear-end crashes on Indonesian toll roads and identify potential mitigation strategies. Materials and Methods A questionnaire was developed and assessed for validity and reliability. It was distributed (online) to 220 drivers who had experienced a rear-end crash or near-crash in the past year. Results The findings from this study showed that contributing factors are driver (55%), environment (33%), and vehicle (12%). Subject vehicles usually consisted of private vehicles, while the lead (struck) vehicles included private vehicles (91.8%), trucks (7.27%), and buses (0.93%). Discussion This study also found two phenomena of local unique behavior in Indonesian toll roads that lead to rear-end crashes, such as “Lane Hogger” and driving under the speed limit (trucks) that lead other vehicles to rear-end crashes. Conclusion Factors contributing to rear-crash risk on Indonesian toll roads were driving experience (ownership driving license 15-20 years), breaking driving rules, driving in the right lane, and using an MPV. The findings from this study can improve potential mitigation strategies, including developing focused driving rules, traffic signs on toll roads, and crash avoidance technology.

PENGARUH INVESTASI PUBLIK TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN PERUSAHAAN LOGISTIK

Paying Up

This article describes the mechanisms by which the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority (PRHTA), a state agency created “para dar al pueblo las mejores carreteras” (to give the people the best highways), has exacerbated uneven resource distribution in Puerto Rico. The PRHTA has functioned as a conduit for regressive restructuring—the work of building financial and physical infrastructures that transfer public wealth to elites. The function of the PRHTA is emblematic of how this politics of regressive social transfer is enabled by colonial capture—the articulation of colonial structures of governance to insulate political-economic power and public institutions from grass-roots and electoral mandates. This paper’s first section offers a brief historical background of the refashioning of Puerto Rico’s colonial politics since the 2016 debt crisis and the longer durée infrastructures to which these political changes pertain. The second section argues that, prior to 2016, political officials refashioned Puerto Rico’s public highways as revenue corridors for global capital in ways that anticipated and fostered the crisis. Contracts between the PRHTA, financial institutions, and private toll road operators reshaped key transportation infrastructures as avenues for the continuing capture of public resources through service fees and payments to bondholders. The final section discusses the material resources that these “public” services effectively transfer to private interests. Compared to median income from 2012 to 2021, the data on tolling rates begin to suggest, although hardly describe in full, the inequitable economic effects of these politics.

Risk Identification of Public Private Partnership Contracts with The Build-Operate-Transfer Scheme on Toll Road in Indonesia

One of the most crucial things that every nation needs is infrastructure. To boost the nation’s competitiveness, the Indonesian government is expediting infrastructure construction. Howeve, there are risk and big financial outlays that need to be addressed. A collaboration agreement, often known as public-private partnership (PPP), between the government and the private party is required in order to do this. With this contract, the government will be able to increase the number of toll roads throughout Indonesia. Although PPP comes in a variety of forms, the Build Operate Transfer (BOT) model is the most commonly used. The organizers and managers of the toll road will assume the government may be able to increase the number of toll roads Indonesia requires with the help of this deal. Although PPP comes in a variety of forms, the BOT model is the most commonly used. The organizers and managers of the toll road will assume all risks associated with the partnership plan. In order to reduce the risks caused by a partnership, each risk must be identified, assigned, and given the proper reaction. The data used in this study comes from BOT cooperation scheme-using toll road projects. The study indicates that there are relevant risks for toll road projects in Indonesia using PPP contracts with the BOT scheme, (1) political risk, (2) feasibility study risk, (3) financial risk, (4) design risk, (5) construction risk, (6) operation risk, and (7) transfer risk. The risk allocation in this research is based on expert opinions, adapted from ongoing toll road BOT projects in Indonesia.

Approach to Weighting the Success Criteria of Toll Road Project of Government Cooperation with Business Entities Procurement Model

In providing funding for toll road development projects, many developing countries are im-plementing PPP pro-curement schemes including Indonesia. This funding scheme is believed to be an innovative procurement process model and has good prospects for the future of the construc-tion industry in the world. However, in its implementation, the Indonesian government is currently faced with various problems that have the potential to have a negative impact on the management and development of toll roads in Indo-nesia. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to develop a method of evaluating the success of PPP-themed toll road projects and determining the current and future strategy of PPP-themed toll road development projects. Methodology This research, using an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach, involves four stages of research. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of reputable scientific journals from various countries, a questionnaire survey was developed. The survey results were analyzed using multivariate statistical methods with the help of Par-tial Least square analysis software (PLS-SEM), analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and Relative Importance Index (RII) methods. The results of this research found 20 critical success indicators and four dimensions of project success. This study produces a new way to assess the success of PPP-themed toll road projects that is very important and can inspire the government in making policies, legislation and regulations as well as innovative strategies in develop-ing PPP-themed toll roads.

The Financial Risks in Toll Road Development in Indonesia: Challenges and Development Strategies for the Probowangi Toll Road

Probolinggo-Banyuwangi toll road, which crosses mountainous areas in East Java. Toll road construction in areas with varying topography often faces significant technical and environmental challenges, which can affect costs, completion time, and project sustainability. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive method to evaluate risk factors that impact project finances, such as construction costs, dependence on funding sources, interest rate fluctuations, and traffic volume predictions. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, while secondary data was obtained from financial planning documents and related project topography. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with a path analysis model. The results of this study are expected to identify key variables that influence financial risk and provide recommendations for effective mitigation strategies. This research is expected to contribute to the development of policies and financial risk management practices for similar infrastructure projects in the future.

Analisis Manajemen Konstruksi Pada Pembangunan Ruas Jalan Rate-Rate Dalam Kota

Road infrastructure development is an important factor in supporting economic growth and community mobility in urban areas. However, road construction in urban areas is often faced with various challenges, such as limited space, population density and the dynamics of community activities. This requires effective and efficient construction management to ensure the smoothness and success of the project. The aim of this research is to find out how cost calculations are carried out using AHSP and also to find out how to carry out and time schedule construction work for inner city lane roads. The method for implementing the construction of lane roads in the city is in the form of asphalting roads with a length of 3.06 KM and a duration of 90 days. The budget plan for building a 3.6 KM inner-city toll road is IDR. 10,428,920,000.

Conflicts and competing interests in infrastructure development: A case of N2 toll road project, wild coast, South Africa

The Wild Coast region in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, is arguably the least developed area, primarily due to its historical marginalisation caused by Apartheid. To counter this underdevelopment, the current government of South Africa plans to implement a 550 km N2 Toll Road Project to link East London in the Eastern Cape with Durban in KwaZulu-Natal. The government envisions that the project will lead to spatial development through improved accessibility to resources. However, it has been criticised by many, including local communities and environmental advocacy groups, who contend that it will result in socio-ecological disasters and conflicts. Against this backdrop, this study explored the differing views and conflicts among stakeholders affected by the N2 Toll Road Project. A qualitative research approach was adopted, involving in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with government officials, local communities, business communities, and environmental advocacy groups. The findings indicate that the N2 Toll Road Project has generated significant controversy, with public opinion sharply divided between those who believe the road will have predominantly positive impacts and those who contend that its effects will be overwhelmingly negative. Concerns regarding the disruption of livelihoods, loss of land, destruction of socio-cultural heritage, and lack of consultation emerged as key sources of conflict among stakeholders. The study recommends the use of inclusive consultation processes and mitigation strategies to minimise conflicting ideologies among stakeholders.

The Impact of Toll Road Development on Urbanization Typology and Economic Structure (Case Study: Palikanci Toll Road in Ciledug District, Cirebon Regency)

This study examines the impact of toll roads on regional growth, specifically focusing on the Ciledug District, which has been crossed by the Palikanci Toll Road since 2009. The research identifies the typology of urbanization and assesses changes in the area’s economic structure due to the toll road. A mixed method approach was used, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection, land change analysis via Google Earth and ArcGis 13.1, and field observations of land use. The findings reveal gentrification in the northern part of Ciledug, marked by the growth of business centers in Jatiseeng and rising land prices. This has led to the expansion of settlements toward the southern area, particularly in Jatiseeng Kidul. The toll road and the industrial estate in North Ciledug have accelerated the transformation of the local economy, with residents diversifying their livelihoods to adapt to urbanization. However, the study also notes a lack of improvement in essential infrastructure services, suggesting that regional development policies have not yet adapted to the gentrification, posing risks of urban sprawl.

Development of work safety procedures for PCI Girder installation using interactive analysis models

As part of the government's infrastructure acceleration initiative, toll road construction has become a key focus to enhance regional development and connectivity. However, such projects, particularly those involving the installation of precast concrete girders, carry significant risks of workplace accidents. Between 2017 and 2021, six accidents related to girder erection occurred during toll road construction projects. This study aims to develop work safety procedures for the installation of Type I precast concrete girders in the Bakauheni–Sidomulyo toll road project. The proposed safety procedures, presented as a flow chart, are based on national and international safety standards, providing a clear and sequential overview of the process to ensure better understanding and risk mitigation. The study uses the Interactive Analysis Model for data analysis, encompassing Data Collection, Data Reduction, Data Presentation, and Conclusion Drawing, where data collection and analysis are conducted in an iterative and simultaneous manner. The results, validated by site engineers and safety officers both within and outside the project, identified 62 potential risks stemming from unsafe conditions and provided 85 safety recommendations. These findings offer practical guidance for contractors to minimize the risk of accidents during the PCI girder erection process.

RANCANG BANGUN PURWARUPA SISTEM REGISTRASI MASUK PINTU TOLL UNTUK KENDARAAN MENGGUNAKAN LONG RANGE RADIO (LORA)

The inefficiency of toll gate systems is one of the main causes of traffic congestion on toll roads. This condition requires an innovative solution to detect and process vehicle information before the vehicle reaches the toll gate. This study aims to develop a prototype that uses ESP32, LoRa, GPS, OLED, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to provide a solution to this problem. The developed prototype uses ESP32 as the main microcontroller, LoRa for long-distance communication, GPS to track the vehicle's location, and OLED as the information display. This system is designed for vehicles to perform real-time registration. The test results show that this prototype can function well in registering vehicle data that will enter the toll gate remotely. With the implementation of this technology, it is expected to reduce the waiting time for toll road users caused by the long queue times of vehicles at conventional toll gate registration systems.
