Not only in Lampung, people in other areas have also expressed their disappointment through various citizen protests. This problem prompted President Jokowi to directly review the condition of the damaged roads in Lampung and decide quickly to resolve the problem. The damaged road became a hot topic of conversation on Twitter. This research was conducted to analyze the sentiments of Twitter users towards opinions related to damaged roads and to analyze the social networks that are formed to find out the actors who play a role in spreading information. Research using descriptive and quantitative methods The process of crawling data on Twitter uses Netlytic.org and then analyzing the system level, as well as text analysis, through the keyword extractor and manual categories at Netlytic.org. The results of the study show that the main actors in the #jalanrusak communication network on Twitter are mainstream media accounts. This shows the position of the mainstream media as channeling aspirations and protecting people's rights, as well as its function as a tool of government control.

The sentiments of Twitter users in the discussion of #jalanrusak are more negative.
