The Influence of Transport Infrastructure in Supporting Freight Transport Activities in Bali

Abstract

Transportation and logistics play a crucial role in economic activities, particularly in the distribution of goods. Well-established and adequate transportation infrastructure can enhance the efficiency of cargo transportation, leading to faster delivery times and reduced logistics costs. Bali, as one of Indonesia's leading tourist destinations, also has the potential to become a hub for trade and logistics. However, Bali's transportation infrastructure is still insufficient to support cargo transportation effectively. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the impact of transportation infrastructure on cargo transportation activities in Bali. The research methodology employed quantitative analysis with linear regression techniques and SWOT analysis. The research findings indicate that the condition of cargo transportation infrastructure in Bali is generally good, but there are still obstacles that can hinder the efficiency of goods delivery, such as traffic congestion and infrastructure damage. Using linear regression analysis, it was determined that transportation infrastructure can have an impact on logistics activities, particularly in terms of transportation infrastructure conditions, the availability of infrastructure, infrastructure quality in supporting logistics costs, and distribution challenges. From the SWOT analysis, it was found that the development of transportation infrastructure in Bali can benefit from a progressive strategy by capitalizing on strengths and opportunities. This approach aims to improve transportation infrastructure in Bali to support more effective and efficient cargo transportation.
