Abstract

Indonesia is planning to shift its astronomical number of fossil-fueled vehicles to electric-based. The implementation started from Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2019 issuance concerning the Battery Electric Vehicle Program Acceleration for Road Transportation to stop air pollution ultimately. Whereas in Bali, Governor Wayan Koster issued governor regulations number 45 & 48 of 2019 to serve as the legal basis for Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure development. To stimulate the Bali island's eco-friendly atmosphere, PT Jasamarga Bali Tol, who manages Bali Mandara Toll Road (Nusa Dua - Ngurah Rai - Benoa), launched a Public Electric Vehicle Charging Station. The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) also requested PT Pertamina (Persero) to produce electric car batteries instead of only fossil fuels. For the electric vehicle battery concept, State-owned Minister Erick Thohir has negotiated with international battery manufacturers. Private companies are also involved in promoting eco-friendly vehicles, such as Grab collaborated with Bali Main Distribution Unit (UID), Bali Province Transportation Agency, PT Pegadaian, Astra Honda Motor, and Panasonic. Then, the Japanese car manufacturer, Toyota, plans to develop the Electric Vehicle Smart Mobility project in Bali to support Nusa Dua, Bali's ecotourism ecosystem. Although EV would help reduce air pollution, The Central Government must inspect the electric vehicle power source since most power plants in Indonesia are coal-fired power stations (PLTU). To solely depend on electric vehicle usage would not have a tremendous impact.

Abstract

As a part of the sacred Wali dance, Sanghyang dance loaded with prehistoric spiritual values intended for worship on religious occasions. The sanghyang dance was well-known in most parts of the island. however, it has well-developed in several areas such as in Bangli, Gianyar, Karangasem, Buleleng, Jembrana, Tabanan, and Klungkung. The art’s existence showed that the Balinese people believe that spirit can help human life. There are commonly three important elements in typical sanghyang dance, namely Nusdus (medium purification), Gending Sanghyang (the melody) and the medium (people or dolls). The Sanghyang Dedari Sacred Dance at Geriana Kauh is the only Sanghyang dance routinely performed yearly. UNESCO recognized The Sanghyang Dedari sacred dance as an almost extinct world cultural heritage. However, the Sanghyang Dedari dance is only held once a year, with a long ritual preparation. A researcher from Indonesia University, Saraswati Putri took a long journey to reconstruct the indigenous dance. She interviewed many traditional village heads, checked Balinese manuscripts in Leiden, and then arranged them into Old Balinese or Sanskrit. Reconstructing from zero, connecting the scattered mosaic requires tenacity and determination. As a result of the hard work, The Sanghyang Dedari Giri Amertha Museum was built to preserve this dance

Abstract

Balinese daily life is closely related to spiritual practices as a religious society. Various traditions are held on the island closely associated with their religious life, Whether it is a piodalan series at a temple or in a series of Hindu religious holidays. Every area has its distinguished ways of expressing gratitude to the higher being. one of them is the Siat Yeh, a tradition common in Banjar Teba, Jimbaran and Suwet Village, Gianyar. Balinese people interpret water as a source of life. The spirit of water conservation has been passed down through various ritual activities, including the Siat Yeh activities in Jimbaran and Suwat Village. The Siat Yeh tradition in Banjar Teba, Jimbaran, was an ancient tradition that the residents had revived. It is expected that the meeting of two holy water sources from Suwung Beach and Segara Beach would bring prosperity to the residents. People believe by meeting these two sacred waters would bring positive energy for them. Aside from a symbol of respect for the two holy water sources, the people of Banjar Teba hope that Siat Yeh will become a legacy that can be passed on to future generations. The villagers of Suwat, Gianyar, also carry out similar Water war activities. Albeit different in some of its technical processes, this hereditary tradition is also a means to worship ancient water sources that have previously supported community survival and hitherto. This activity has become an annual event that has successfully attracted the attention of many visitors to participate. Its simple activities are the primary reason many tourists were interested in seeing this cultural heritage.

Abstract

Historical relics of the past are widely scattered in different areas in Indonesia, including Bali. For instance, Pejeng Village is an ancient village that was the capital city of the Old Balinese kingdom. Therefore, some archaeological sites can be found in most areas. Pengukur-ukuran Temple and Garba Cave are the heritage of the Pejeng Kingdom, in Gianyar Regency. This cave was thought to have existed since the 12th century AD. Located on the eastern bank of the Pakerisan river, the temple was one of many prominent ancient Balinese temples for the Kingdom. Some argued that the name ‘Pengukur-ukuran’ was associated with the previous King’s grand plan to measure his territory. In contrast, the others believed the term was given after General Kebo Iwa proved his invincibility in the area. The Pengukur-ukur Temple site is situated between a steep valley formed by the Pakerisan Watershed. There are temple complexes, cliff temples, and hermitage niches carved into the cliff walls on the western edge of the Pakerisan riverbank. Despite the history of the temple’s significance for the Pejeng Kingdom, Megalithic remnants found around the temple’s inner courtyard explained that the temple had been serving as a center for religious rites since prehistoric times.
