| dc.description.abstract | Implementation of quality standard for road pavement deals with many constraints and improper application on
site, such as (1) lack of qualified resource (human resource, equipment, material and cost) used in quality control
systems; and (ii) lack of socialisation by institutions related for all stakeholders. The objective of the research is to
describe perceptions of road pavement experts and practitioners regarding variables affecting implementation of quality
standard throughout stages of input, process, output, outcome and impact. This research verified 140 variables affecting
implementation of quality standard for road pavement by judgment of 392 experts and practitoners determined by
purposive sampling from 28 provinces in Indonesia. Descriptive statistics was employed to analyse verified dominant
variables perceived by those experts and practitioners affecting the implementation of quality standard. Of 392 experts
and practioners, only 240 or 61.2% gave their opinions. Findings of the research show that 14 aspects and 50 variables
are very dominant. These variables account for 36% of verified variables affecting the implementation of quality
standard. The dominant aspects include (i) human resource, (ii) utilisation of testing equipment, (iii) utilisation of testing
material, and (iv) socialisation. The human resource aspect is affected by level of competency, education, experience and
number of training in pavement engineering. The utilisation of testing equipment is influenced by availability of
equipment, equipment guideline, reliability and readiness of equipment. The utilisation of testing material is affected by
sampling method, quality and availability of materials. The socialisation is influenced by competency of instructures,
institutional networking commitment, variation of socialisation materials and method of socialisation. | en_US |
