Abstract

The tourism sector plays an important role in the economic and developmental activities of Beraban Village. The most significant income is from the Tanah Lot tourist attraction. Tourism development in Beraban Village has generated both beneficial and adverse effects on the local community. Accordingly, this study examines how tourism growth influences the economic, sociocultural, and environmental dimensions of community life in Beraban Village. A qualitative research approach was adopted, utilizing in-depth interviews, participant observation, document analysis, and focus group discussions involving stakeholders from multiple sectors. The collected data were subjected to thematic analysis to explore the implications of tourism development within rural communities. The findings demonstrate that tourism development has substantially influenced the economic, sociocultural, and environmental conditions of the local community. In Beraban Village, four major benefits have been identified: greater access to education, improvements in health and well-being, increased economic opportunities, and the strengthening of social and cultural development. From an economic perspective, tourism has contributed to improving the livelihoods of previously less-prosperous households, enabling them to achieve more stable and better living conditions. From a sociocultural perspective, the development of tourism has generated additional economic benefits for Traditional Villages through the allocation of revenue derived from Tanah Lot. The sector also provides employment opportunities for local residents, while increasing community awareness of the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness and sustainability. Nevertheless, tourism development has also produced several adverse consequences. The substantial influx of migrants seeking employment and economic opportunities in Bali may contribute to social problems, including crime and the misuse of drugs and alcohol among younger generations. In addition, the increasing volume of tourism-related waste remains a challenge that has not been managed optimally. The expansion of tourism activities has also contributed to changes in agricultural land use. Academically, this study contributes to a broader understanding of tourism development and its multidimensional impacts on local communities. Practically, the findings are expected to provide useful insights for Beraban Village in managing tourism development, strengthening tourism village initiatives, and supporting the emergence of new and sustainable tourism programs.
