Abstract

Consisting of three colors: red, white, and black, Tri Datu reflects three absolute powers surrounding the universe. Balinese Hindu people manifest the trinity deities into interwoven red, black and white threads. Almost in every Balinese Hindu ritual, the existence of the Tri Datu thread can be seen. Therefore, the Tri Datu thread has been using as a ritual instrument or protective amulet. On a philosophical level, the item has a value of self-control. If someone is wearing the sacred item, they would properly behave in society because the interwoven thread represents the divine symbol of righteousness. Many Balinese have been spotted wearing the three-colored thread, thus attracted the non-Balinese people curiosity. The phenomenon was perceived by wider communities that the interwoven thread is local identity. It is gradually led to market demand to obtain the Tri Datu as a souvenir from the island of God. One to another home industry of the Tri Datu accessories emerged as a response to tourism industry demand. Today, one may find the Tri Datu thread-based souvenir in the marketplace at ease. Although the interwoven thread strongly relates to religious symbols, it does not mean that non-Balinese cannot wear it. One should be aware that the Tri Datu holds a religious value that should be taken into account. Therefore, one should avoid wearing it inappropriately, such as a leg bracelet, or put it in any place without consulting it beforehand.

Abstract

Dalem Balingkang temple depicts distinctive ornaments and interiors that resemble Chinese ambiance. It could be seen from the dominance of red and golden paints, architectural finishing, and Chinese shrine existence inside the main temple. The temple has been acknowledged as representing Balinese and Chinese customs acculturation that has existed for centuries. It was a palace for King Sri Haji Jaya Pangus who according to Purana Dalem Balingkang, reigned Bali in 1053 Isaka/1131 AD. However, due to some circumstances, the castle was left abandoned. Then a King from Pejeng, I Dewa Mayun Sudha, reconstructed the palace ruin into a temple to praise the late King and Queen of Dalem Balingkang. King Sri Haji Jaya Pangus’s marriage with the daughter of Chinese trader Kang Ching We became a significant momentum of the acculturation of two cultures, Balinese and Chinese. As upper-class citizens, their marriage set a new standard in society. Gradually some foreign habits and customs were absorbed in local daily life. It can be seen in various aspects of their life, from ritual, economic, religion, social, architecture, art and culture. Further, Balinese Chinese culture’s acculturation also occurred throughout Bali’s region and existed up to the moment.

Abstract

The island of Bali initially was a mere stopover for Dutch vessels. In 1920, It began to invite a massive influx of tourists. The development of tourism in Bali experienced ups and downs with various essential events that occurred to the Indonesian state; From World War II, the War of Independence until the Merger of Bali Island into the Republic of Indonesia on August 17, 1950. Foreign tourists returned to visit the island of Bali after 1950. However, the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 switched the reality of the tourism industry. Agriculture became the last pillar for Bali province after the collapse of tourism due to the covid 19 pandemics. People who rely on the tourism sector eventually turned to the agricultural sector. During the pandemic, there was an increase in the workforce in the agricultural sector. This fact is also supported by the results and enthusiasm for high agricultural absorption at the household level. However, in line with the government's attention through Bali Governor Regulation Number 99 of 2018, the government, agricultural practitioners, and the private sector still educate farmers to produce agricultural products following market needs. The use of technology must also be applied to facilitate access to the distribution of farmers' products to buyers. So, with the creation of these new ways, the agricultural sector in Bali will be as strong as tourism.

Abstract

In 1945, Indonesia achieved its Independence from Japan. However, starting from 1945 until 2019, the development of the railway system in Indonesia has stagnated. In early 2020, PT KAI announced a new project through their official Instagram account @Keretaapikita. It would be a collaboration project between the KAI, the Central Government and Regional Governments to plan and discuss the development of rail-based urban mass transportation in several big cities in Indonesia, including Bali. It was a part of the Government’s strategy to equalize area development throughout Bali and manifest accessible transportation. Including the supporting plan for North Bali Airport and mass transportation establishment. Over the years, a recent study revealed that the community interest in public transportation had plummeted drastically. However, it was shown that the community showed a strong perception in supporting the development of alternative modes of train/LRT/ART to all districts in Bali. Furthermore, the battery-based electric tram in Bali is scheduled to start its construction in March 2022. The completion would depend on the result of the feasibility study.
