The road functions as an infrastructure of traffic movement and its performance can be assessed. It has mattered in performance, including durability, economic value, planned life, comfort, and flexibility. The roads can be damaged and require repairs to maintain performance. Handling road damage in Indonesia is still found to be a mismatch between planning and implementation. This research was conducted to assist decision-makers in determining the type of road construction in accordance with technical and non-technical factors. Factors used to assess eligibility in the selection of road improvements is the type of concrete construction or asphalt construction. This study intends to develop a decision support system to determine the type of road construction. The model was developed using Analytical Hierarchy Process method. The factors used in the model are the availability of resources, road surface comfort, weather resistance, ground movement, traffic conditions, and maintenance period. The results showing the technical factors have the highest weight resistance to weather (0.491), and non-technical factors are the availability of resources (0.667).
