Abstract

Road segments ranging from local roads to national roads are the most urgent arteries in the mobilization of goods and people and determine the progress of economic development. Therefore the road must be constructed in accordance with the standards set out in the laws and regulations, including here the national road that has high economic value that connects the two regions of the two provinces namely Tapan Pesisir Selatan in the West Sumatra province and the Sungai Penuh Kerinci in Jambi province the two regions is closely related in economic and trade relations and the distance is only close to 64 km, but the terrain conditions have the potential to cause traffic accidents because natural factors penetrate row hills that have high geographical and national road standardization factors that do not have the attributes of road safety equipment complete. In this regard, it is necessary to examine how much the level of potential hazards caused by roads through disaster risk analysis in the transportation sector using the disaster risk analysis model. The results of the analysis using the disaster risk analysis model of the Tapan Sumbar - Sungai Penuh Kerinci Jambi road have a high hazard vulnerability level of 8.05 or above 5 means that this road needs to be improved both its construction and road safety equipment.
