摘要: |
The exploitation of aggregates and soils for highway construction has a considerable impact on the economy and the environment and it is important that utilization of these materials is cost-effective. Obtaining and maintaining good records is costly and requires professional expertise. With modern computer technology it is possible to store information systematically and compactly. If quarry information is available in one central locality, better planning of road construction and maintenance and better management of materials resources can be realized. The research undertaken to create a materials information system in Indonesia is described. A pilot system was designed and tested in the province of West Java and comprehensive data collected from about 800 quarry sites. The Indonesian Directorate General of Highways, encouraged by the results of the pilot study, decided to introduce the system to all 27 provinces of Indonesia. Training courses were held to teach good practice and were successful because of improvements in the quality and quantity of data provided, but there is still scope to improve the utilization of the system by potential users. With accurate data the system is an improvement on the status quo. The system is simple to use, can be updated when necessary, and provides the basic information required by highway engineers. It is transferable to other countries in transition with minimal alteration. The data can be used in conjunction with terrain classification and Geographic Information Systems packages (such as MapInfo) to indicate potential new material sources. |
