The geographical profile of road and bridge characteristics, and public transport availability, isportrayed in figures V.1 to V.3. Figure V.1 shows that across sub-districts in Java almost allvillages have main roads with asphalt or gravel/stone surfaces. On Sumatra and Sulawesi, subdistrictsalso score predominantly above 90 percent, but still a non-trivial number of sub-districtsfall in the range between 0.5 and 0.9, and incidentally we see sub-districts where less than half ofthe villages have main roads with some form of hardened surface. For Kalimantan, NTB and NTBwe observe a large degree of variation across sub-districts within regions, while sub-districts onMaluku and in particular Papua score very low, predominantly below 0.5 and often below 0.25.Figure V.1: Map – Share of Villages with Asphalt or Gravel/Stone Main RoadThe sub-districts shares of villages where no new bridges are required, is shown in Figure V.2. OnJava, villages predominantly report that no new bridges are needed, although there is quite somevariation across sub-districts. On Sumatra and Papua, we see a much greater degree of variationacross sub-districts than on Java, but still ranging along the full scale from 0 and 1. A largevariation is also observed for Kalimantan, NTB and NTB, and Maluku, but average levels arelower, often below 0.5.Figure V.2: Map – Share of Villages with NO need for New BridgesWith regard to the availability of public transport, Figure V.3 portrays large geographic differences,both across and within regions. On Java, the availability of public transport with fixed routes is the48
