Abstract

Contestations related to hierarchy among the Balinese have long been discussed.  In present-day Bali, one of the most spectacular cases of hierarchical conflict was the conflict surrounding the prohibition of a high priest from Wangsa Pasek (Pasek Maxima Clan) from officiating rituals in Pura Dasar Bhuana in Gelgel, Klungkung. This conflict triggered the construction of a new temple, called Pura Catur Parhyangan Ratu Pasek Linggih Ida Bethara Mpu Ghana located in Pundukdawa village, also in Klungkung district. This research aimed to analyse in depth the motivation of the temple construction and its ramifications, employing a qualitative research approach. It concluded that the development of the new temple is a movement to search and strengthen identity (wangsa identity, identitas ke-wangsa-an), and to increase the maxima clan’s standing. The findings of this research suggest that in analysing the current hierarchy and dominance in Balinese society, it can no longer employ analytical theories based on static hierarchy.

Abstract

Bali's economic landscape, intricately interwoven with tourism, integrates cultural-urban agriculture via the Subak system. Subak is an organization owned by the farmers in Bali that specifically regulates water management. The government has selected several Subak in urban area to become dynamic agricultural centers named Subak Lestari. The research explores farmer perspectives on urban agriculture tourism and offering insights for future sustainable urban agriculture and cultural tourism. This qualitative study is involving 23 farmers of Subak Lestari management and reflecting scores in technical (4.01), socio-cultural (3.87), economic (4.29), and environmental (4.32) aspects. These assessments underscore confidence in Subak Lestari's potential to catalyze a development in tourism-centric urban agriculture. Farmers seriously support positions of Subak Lestari as a potent force in reshaping urban agriculture. The study advocates for stakeholders to foster a sustainable fusion of traditional agriculture and tourism to safeguard agricultural spaces and ensuring urban farmers existence.
