Abstract

Development of favorite tourist destinations in Derawan Island and other places in the southern coastal region of Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, must be supported by the provision of good transportation infrastructure and services to encourage connectivity so that it can increase tourist visits annually. The scale of the priority of access roads to tourist attractions in Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, uses the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. The expert data response sample was conducted on 40 respondents in the Road Access Policy to the Tourism Areas of Berau Regency, East Kalimantan consisting of government, practitioners, and academics who were the right people to be used as respondents in determining the weight of the influence of factors, variables, and indicators. Respondents' assessment of several sub-criteria produced priority scale hierarchy weights for level 2 on the highest criteria for road conditions at 57.054%. The weighted land use priority scale is 13,694% and level 3 sub-criteria in the socio-cultural tourism sector are 50.8%. The condition of access to transportation networks to the favorite tourist destinations of Derawan Island and the southern coastal region of Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, is still relatively low with a considerable degree of accessibility, plus points of damage that need to be addressed.
