Conservation, as well as cultural development activities, are essential to be conducted to maintain the identity of a nation, moreover preserve its existence. When we discuss about culture, Bali, the island of thousand temples, offers whole package of cultural charms; whether in the form of art, religion, civilization, tools and technology, social organization, knowledge, and language system. In order to preserve these cultural aspects, Provincial government of Bali continues to strive various activities. Bali Mandara nawanatya, an activity proclaimed by the government of Bali province as a medium to cultivate the creativity of Balinese artist, is held throughout the year at Taman Budaya, Art Centre Denpasar. The opening parade of this weekend’s art activities was merrily held with theme Tri Buana Kertih or harmony in three layers of the universe. Participants consisting of students from various schools in Bali as well as local arts groups such as Yayasan Penggak Men Mersi, Kisrama Production-Singaraja, Fortuna Management-Singaraja and art activists from neighbourhood province like Banyuwangi Ethno Carnaval attends the opening parade or referred as the cultural parade of ‘Bali Art Carnaval’.

Abstract

A US-based tourism magazine ‘Fodor’ includes Bali as ‘No List 2020’. The news infuriated Bali Governor Wayan Koster. Koster presumed the action was an example of foul play in tourism competition. Meanwhile, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Wishnutama Kusbandio claimed he did not bother with the Fodor's review. The news might be the Fodor’s strategy as a media to reach a wider audience. Fodor’s included Bali as "No List 2020" due to three major factors namely poor waste management, clean water existence, and foreign tourists’ disrespectful attitude. Findings showed what the media wrote apparently reflects the todays reality on th Island of Gods. However, the local Government has been starting to make significant improvement from waste management, and tourism standard. Tourism stakeholder in Indonesia especially Bali, might be infuriated by Fodor’s No List 2020. Rather than to negatively response to the news, it is better to consider it as positive feedback for Bali tourism. In addition, a good quality feedback from media as one of society control would be well appreciated if it is providing problem-solving solution instead of only focus on critics.

Abstract

Governor of Bali, Dr. Ir. I Wayan Koster, M.M. recently instructed his regents through Governor Instruction Number 1545 of 2019 to promote Krama Bali Family Planning (KBFP); a ‘four children policy’ instead of National family planning program (FPP) a ‘two children policy’. The central government deployed FPP as an effective way to prevent population explosion in the last fifty years; which is highly crucial to ensure the society’s welfare in future. In contrast, apparently, from the Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster’s perspective, the program is subduing Balinese society growth, and threatening the survivability of the third and fourth child generations (Nyoman and Ketut). Through the Instruction, it is expected the Balinese family would decide to have more than two children, as the Governor’s wish to protect the ancestral noble heritage. In these times, there are several things that a family should be taken into account before deciding to follow KBFP program; from the female side agreement, family’s cashflow condition, and recent demographic situation of Bali that has been expanding rapidly for years. Nevertheless, the instruction is not sternly applied, since there is no sanction for the society who wish not to follow the government’s suggestion. As a verdict, a Balinese family still own the power to decide independently what they may find suitable for their future.

The Balinese Language Month imbued the spirit of language preservation. The event is strongly related to the apprehensive fact that the Balinese's interest in using their native language is plummeting significantly over the years. The festival was successfully held and gathered significant attention from the public. It is suggested to conduct follow up research to measure the public's heed after the Balinese Language Festival or any similar events. Should the public's favour in learning and using their native discourse increases, then the program should be treated as a frontline in preserving the language. However, when the festival turned out did not make any significant change in society, perhaps a better strategy should be considered in generating social awareness in their mother language. Furthermore, the research might be as well acts as input for the committee; on this occasion, the provincial Government of Bali to keep on improving the quality of the language preservation festival.
