<![CDATA[Tourism development in Bali has increasingly faced challenges arising from the tension between economic growth, environmental sustainability, and the preservation of local cultural identity. Despite the integration of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy and the “one island, one plan, one management” principle into Bali’s Spatial Planning Regulation (RTRW) 2023–2043, weak inter-agency coordination, limited law enforcement, and an economy-centered approach continue to undermine implementation. This study employs a normative juridical method, drawing on conceptual, legislative, and comparative approaches, to examine how integrated spatial governance can harmonize national legal frameworks with local wisdom. The analysis reveals that local instruments such as awig-awig and community-based zoning play a significant role in maintaining spatial balance. However, their effectiveness remains constrained without regulatory support and alignment with central government mechanisms such as OSS-RBA and KKPR. Comparative insights from Thailand demonstrate the importance of multi-actor collaboration and institutional coherence through models like DASTA (Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration), which integrates local governance into sustainable tourism zones. Accordingly, an integrated spatial governance model for Bali should provide clear local autonomy, participatory spatial mapping, and inclusive consultation forums to ensure legal synchronization and community-based monitoring. Such an approach positions spatial policy not merely as an economic instrument but as a practical pathway to uphold ecological integrity, cultural identity, and spatial justice in sustainable tourism development.]]>
