In this study, identify the function of the road construction budget for transportation infrastructure can trigger an increase the output surplus of production was done. The increase in the road development budget is calculated using the growth factor method of the road construction budget combined with the length of the road. The production surplus is calculated based on the productivity of the commodity compared to the commodity needs of the population in the regency. The research method used excel software. The object under study is the surplus of commodity production taken and processed based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics for last 10 years. Meanwhile, the road construction budget data were obtained related agencies for the last 5 years. The expected result in this research is to obtain a correlation between the road construction budget and the production surplus.

For the empowerment of women several international meetings, conferences and seminars have been taking place globally. Consequently, women are becoming stronger in social, economic, and political sectors. The numbers of women state heads have revealed that internationally women are being empowered politically. Women’s struggle in Nepal has also brought a remarkable change in establishing women rights in social, economic, and political spheres. After democratic restoration, few efforts have been made for their empowerment. Still the Human Development index of women is not so encouraging. However, they have been involved in multi sectoral activities such as household economy, environmental conservation, social functions, and infrastructure development. After 1990, political parties have involved women in their political organizations and have provided opportunities to be elected and nominated in the national legislature, executive and judiciary. Few of them have already got chances to be Minister and Member of Parliament.Similarly, women have been working as District Development or Village Development Committee chairperson. In the inaccessible remote areas still they are not much empowered and their involvement is less. It is necessary to make them empowered.

Urban transportation infrastructure development projects usually act as a lever for real estate values. This research aims to assess the effects of some projects on urban land prices in three wards of Cau Giay District, namely Quan Hoa, Dich Vong, and Dich Vong Hau wards. With 161 samples surveyed, we established a multivariate linear regression model initially having 11 variables. As the result, six variables are identified as having significant effect on land prices in the study area. Among those, three variables are related to the local transportation infrastructure, namely: location of land parcels; distance to urban railway lines; and distance to public transport stations. Location of land parcels and distance to public transport stations are factors that have a significant influence in reality. Besides, the distance to the urban railway lines is the factor that has a positive impact on land prices, but it is only still a potential and should be extensively investigated in the future because the urban railway project is still in the implementation phase.

Transport infrastructure is a measure of the spatial interaction among regions and has a significant role in supporting the process of regional infrastructure development because without transportation between one place to another place is not materialized well. Interaction among regions has reflected in the transportation infrastructure facilities condition as well as the flow of people, goods, and services.. Transportation infrastructure development can improve the accessibility of Deli Serdang region, thereby improving the economy of Deli Serdang, which consequently will increase the welfare of the community; therefore the accessibility planning is essential. For this purpose, there are three questions posed in this study. The results showed that both of quantity and quality variables, accuracy and ease had the significant effect on the regional development and its aspects except qualitative variables to local development as well as issues of the economic, social and accuracy. Regional development variable also had a significant effect on the public welfare but the social aspect of revenue aspect. Development of transport infrastructure should be improving the quantity, accuracy, and ease of roads in Deli Serdang districts in enhancing the development of the region to improve the welfare of rural communities.Keywords: transport infrastructure, regional development, public welfare

Road-infrastructure development in Southeast Asia is opening new resource frontiers but also consolidating earlier investments in agriculture and trade, as illustrated by the 2,700-km Trans-Sumatra Highway planned for Sumatra, Indonesia. In contrast to earlier broadscale forest losses in Sumatra, driven historically in Sumatra infrastructure and agricultural expansion, the Trans-Sumatra Highway would largely affect remnant forests. We identify Kerinci Seblat National Park and its surrounds, the Leuser Ecosystem, and the Batang Toru area as three remnant-forest areas critical to Sumatra’s ecological integrity and facing conservation challenges that would be significantly aggravated by the Trans-Sumatra Highway. If completed as planned, the highway will promote human incursions into the fringes of these areas. New Indonesian regulations concerning road developments in forests are unlikely to prevent such outcomes. The regulations afford weaker protections to ungazetted and noncore protected forests, which typify remnant-forest areas threatened by infrastructure expansion and are often critical for species conservation. We urge that ungazetted protected forests be given equal priority to gazetted protected forests in regard to conservation planning for road development, and also that gazetted forests be expanded in the Leuser Ecosystem and Batang Toru area to hedge against further incursions. Without such provisions, recent legal challenges to road developments in Sumatra’s remnant forests have often been unsuccessful. The Trans-Sumatra Highway may conceivably promote an effective legal alliance between conservationists and agricultural communities threatened with land expropriation, given that nearly half of the highway’s route remains pending contentious land-acquisition processes.
