Abstract (EN)

North Cyprus has maintained its major roads which have heavy traffic loads. However, the village road networks are often neglected due to various factors such as lack of asset management and technical know-how at local administration level. The village of Geçitkale happens to be one of such villages affected and although it is one of the large villages in Famagusta District with a population of 1,253 based on 2011 census is Geçitkale village, the road asset management is very poor. The road system is managed by the municipality and so far there is no inventory of their road network and they are now taking steps to rebuild their database. Geçitkale is home to several archeological features such as the Archangelos Michael Church and İncirli cave. To provide help in the maintenance of the road asset systems, this research will help create inventory of the Geçitkale region. The R Sweave database will be used to create an inventory for the various road attributes. The attributes include but are not limited to stating the conditions of the roads, overall value of asset, establishment of level of service needed for each road, targeting long term conditions and anticipating future. The development of data collected for each road section was done by importing into the R software and an inventory was generated of all the road attributes. This method is easily adopted as it is simple, efficient and also caters to the lack of technical know-how as it does not require a skilled engineer. Keywords: Road asset management, Pavement, Road and Geçitkale
