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.

Abstract

Many legends, myths, and folktales discuss mountain and its central position for people. From base to top, the mountain summit holds the highest spiritual value, because the place is considered close to heaven. Balinese folk divided the land into three sectors: highland for the immortal beings, mainland for human, and in the dark depth trench, reside spirit of the abyss. Since the beach is the closest area to the underworld, the Balinese forefather avoided spending their time on the coastline. The teaching about the mystical mountain and mythical water have been passed throughout generations and probably become a chief reason for them to respectfully hold their tradition in respecting both the areas. This concept is called Nyegara Gunung. It stands on the truth that the mountain and the sea are part of mother nature that gives tremendous impact on life. Many customs around the globe also share the concept of the sacred mountain as well as a myth about the sea. The folk views environment conservation becomes the primary key to live in harmony. Therefore they stand for anything in regards to keep the nature undisturbed. Through ritual, they express their gratitude to the supreme being as well as to teach their offspring to respect what they have on the island.

Abstract

Land conversion occurs globally as a result of population dynamics, infrastructure and agricultural expansions, as occurring in the island of God, Bali. Apparently, the land shifting phenomenon in Bali is not as simple as it sounds. It creates a complicated situation in which detrimental to the environment that subsequently affects the socio-cultural aspect in the long run. albeit Balinese rice field, with its Subak System, received UNESCO World Heritage title. The title seems unable to halt the conversion entirely. High demand and limited supply of land in Bali are resulting in skyrocketing price of the estate that slowly pushes the community to liquidate their essential asset. Every year, the horticultural industry is shrinking bit by bit and transforming into real estate. Once an area is transmuted into a residential property or tourism destination, its neighbourhood would be most likely to experience a similar way. As the land composition is changing, migration would follow and boost the conversion process. Though Government is strictly regulating about land conversion through Law Number 41 of 2009 and Law Number 26 of 2007, yet society consciousness plays a vital role to determine whether Bali ricefield with its Subak would survive in the future.

The Government through the local regulation suggests shopping centers and modern stores provide environmental-friendly alternative bags with biodegradable standard or permanent bags that can be used repeatedly, to reduce society’s dependence on using single-use plastic bags when shopping. The regulation is a clear example of Denpasar City in preserving the environment based on the philosophical foundation of the concept of Tri Hita Karana. It is a Balinese concept to maintain harmonious relationships between humans to God, among humankind, as well as human and their environment.
