The dynamics of the Pecalangâs role in the Traditional Village of Tuban has experienced
multifunctional roles after the splendor of the tourism activities happened in the village. As a
tourism area that is supported by Ngurah Rai International Airport and heterogeneous and
multicultural population, this traditional village requires an arrangement of the socialreligious institution of Pecalang, the Village Security Forces that are in synergy with the Civil
Defense (Hansip).
The problems that arose in this research were 1). How the form of the Pecalang in
supporting the tourism activities in the traditional village of Tuban was?; 2). How the
implications of the Pecalangâs involvement in supporting the tourism activities in the village
was? The method of approach with the type of the qualitative research, that is, the analysis of
field data collection with consideration of the nature and scope of the research problems is in
the characteristic of multidisciplinary.
Based on the results of the research, it can be described that the multifunctional role of
the Pecalang is empirically in synergy with the Security Forces of the traditional village
(Hansip). The Pecalang and the Security Forces of the village altogether form a single
integrated post to maintain the security, tranquility, and the orderliness at the traditional
village of Tuban. The role of the Pecalang in the tourism of a pluralistic community is at the
beginning in the domain of âreligion,â custom, and culture, then flows to the domain of
âstateâ/security and to the social-economic function of tourism activities. In the real juridical,
the formation of Pecalang and the Security Forces of the village was just written in the village
role âPenyacahâ when the traditional village followed village a contest of traditional villages
in the level of Badung Regency in 2016. At that time, there was a mistake to put the role of the
Security Forces of the village and the Pecalang. The role of the village Security Forces and
the Pecalang should be not in the role of âPenyacah, but in the role of âNyejeâ or âNgeleâ/
the released role.
