Abstract

After received harsh critiques in 2016, once more, a rumor about the construction of a bridge between Java island and Bali island has been sparking wildly since January 2020. Previously, Banyuwangi Regent Azwar anaz proposed a plan to build a connecting bridge to reduce vehicle queues in ketapang harbor. Commonly, the traffic would reach its peak time on holiday season after Eid al-Fitr, where congestion in Ketapang harbor got its limit capacity. For decades, the Bali strait has been serving as a connecting port between Java and Bali, which is essential for economic growth and public migration. Meanwhile, philosophically, the strait holds a symbol of new hope and new life that separates between past and future. A rumor to build an overpass between java island and Bali island discussed in early 2020 and in 2016 to reduce vehicle queues in ketapang harbor received critiques from Balinese society. To connect the two islands by land route would be considered a poor decision since it would affect some values and cultures that the community, especially Bali, holds dearly. Thus as an alternative solution, the idea of making another dock, an executive dock, both in Ketapang and Gilimanuk, is much preferred. The presence of the executive port will automatically eradicate the resurgent discourse on the Java-Bali bridge construction. Because crossing via ship alone takes 15 minutes, thus the Java-Bali bridge seems unnecessary. The executive pier would be in synergy with the construction of the Denpasar - Gilimanuk toll road.

Abstract

Consisting of three colors: red, white, and black, Tri Datu reflects three absolute powers surrounding the universe. Balinese Hindu people manifest the trinity deities into interwoven red, black and white threads. Almost in every Balinese Hindu ritual, the existence of the Tri Datu thread can be seen. Therefore, the Tri Datu thread has been using as a ritual instrument or protective amulet. On a philosophical level, the item has a value of self-control. If someone is wearing the sacred item, they would properly behave in society because the interwoven thread represents the divine symbol of righteousness. Many Balinese have been spotted wearing the three-colored thread, thus attracted the non-Balinese people curiosity. The phenomenon was perceived by wider communities that the interwoven thread is local identity. It is gradually led to market demand to obtain the Tri Datu as a souvenir from the island of God. One to another home industry of the Tri Datu accessories emerged as a response to tourism industry demand. Today, one may find the Tri Datu thread-based souvenir in the marketplace at ease. Although the interwoven thread strongly relates to religious symbols, it does not mean that non-Balinese cannot wear it. One should be aware that the Tri Datu holds a religious value that should be taken into account. Therefore, one should avoid wearing it inappropriately, such as a leg bracelet, or put it in any place without consulting it beforehand.

Abstract

The word Tumpek refers to the meeting of the five-day wewaran system (Panca Wara), namely Kliwon, with the seven-day wewaran (Sapta Wara) system, namely Saniscara or Saturday. The five-day wewaran, seven-day wewaran, and pawukon cycle encounter gave birth to the concept of Tumpek as a day of celebration of objects and creatures that have an important role in human life. Pawukon determines the suffix of the tumpek, which takes place twice a year. For example, if the Tumpek falls on Pawukon Uye will be called Tumpek Uye, then the Tumpek that falls on pawukon Krulut will be called Tumpek Krulut. On Tumpek Krulut, Balinese Hindus worship His manifestation as Lord Iswara. A deity, lord of sacred sounds creation. Some scholars argue that the word Krulut, comes from the word Lulut which means affection love. Balinese ancestors adapted this term from the old Javanese calendar. Later, the word krulut in Tumpek Krulut is associated with celebration of love. In February 2022, The Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster considered Tumpek Krulut as the Balinese day of love. As the same as Valentine’s Day celebrations in this era. Wayan Koster emphasized that Hindus and Balinese people can use the Tumpek Kerulut as indigenous momentum to cherish love.

Abstract

Since ancient times, people have recorded their knowledge of processing various herbs into medicine. In Bali, it can be found scattered on the island under the term Lontar Usadha, written on dried-Borassus leaves. From many types of traditional medicine and treatments in Lontar Usadha, Boreh has endured through centuries. There are three types of Boreh known by Balinese folks. It is classified according to their effect on the body: Boreh anget, Boreh miyik, and Boreh tis. Despite its popularity as a health treatment that has endured throughout time, it should be admitted that society's understanding regarding the ingredient's composition, processing steps, and the applying method is strongly influenced by the available information sources around them, as well as the ingredients. To appreciate and conserve the knowledge of Boreh making, the Bali Provincial Culture Office held a Boreh-making competition. On the spot, the public could see various Boreh ingredients that most Balinese rarely find today. On the other hand, the Government has a strategic plan to develop Wellness tourism as a new activity option when tourists visit Bali. In line with the effort to introduce Boreh as a traditional medicine from Bali, tourists can experience traditional treatment from their hotel or spa.
