Abstract

Traffic Congestion is one of the common problems for road users found in almost all cities with high mobilization activities. Palembang is one of the capital cities in Indonesia that has been dealing with Traffic Congestion problems. It certainly has impacted road users, while one of the biggest ones is the socio-economic felt by road users. However, the magnitude of the loss of socio-economic impact caused can be in the form of reduced income from wasted fuel due to increased purchases of fuel (BBM) and a decrease in economic benefits in the form of wasted time due to traffic congestion.

This research aims to determine the impact that arises as a result of traffic congestion in Palembang city by distributing a questionnaire form with 114 respondents who are in Palembang city to find out the actual conditions in the field. This research result shows that three things are affected, there are economic, social, and environmental. The Linkert analysis score indicates that 92,84% of respondents agree and strongly agree that Traffic Congestion affects the economy, and 90,60% of respondents agree and strongly agree that traffic congestion also affects the social. The Linkert analysis results on the environmental impact of 91,84%, which means that Traffic Congestion is also Highly Impactful on the environment. Thus, traffic congestion will impact the social, economic, and environmental aspects.
