Abstract

Buleleng regent, Putu Agus Suradnyana confirmed Tamblingan will be promoted as a spiritual tourism object. the plan was a request from pengrajeg catur desa or four villages leader on Tamblingan Lake vicinity. The Lake status as a sacred site, has been preserved since the 10th century. The ancient Tamblingan communities erected many holy shrines nearby. They are Dalem Tamblingan temple, Endek temple, Ulun Danu temple, Sang Hyang Kangin temple, and Sang Hyang Kawuh temple. Then Gubug Temple, Tirta Mengening Temple, Naga Loka Temple, Pengukiran Temple, Pengukusan, Batulepang Temple, Embang temple and Tukang Timbang temple. Despite its status as holy site, Tamblingan Lake acts as sanctuary to various types of vegetation and wild animals. The regental government realized the byproduct possibilities of promoting new tourism object is land conversion. Tourist area status often invites high-scale business investors to establish supporting facilities around the site, which can adversely affect the lake habitat's sustainability. to minimise further exploitation, Agus Suradnyana encourages indigenous villages to compose pararem (customary rules) in the villages around Lake Buyan and Tamblingan. The regulation is expected to prevent land conversion in the villages around Buyan-Tamblingan lakes, as well as to maintain groundwater availability in the long run.

Abstract

Myths are common in Balinese society’ belief system that rooted back to the local religion, Wali and Hinduism teaching. There are many stories in ancient texts; most of them cover the story of influential figures such as Gods, Deities, Demon, evil spirit and et cetera. Gods and Goddess represent good, righteousness and source that brings happiness and joy to human. In contrast, other entities like Demons and evil spirits become a symbol of maleficent that create chaos and disaster on earth. Through Balinese history, there were many disasters, plagues, and diseases that took heavy tolls. The Myth from ancient Balinese texts helps to provide consultation as well as the perspective of the ancient civilisation in dealing with many unfortunate situations, including plagues and diseases. The mythical story leads to numerous ceremonies being celebrated on the island. The ritual act as an expression of gratitude, apologise, and a moment to self-reflect that humankind is not the only creature that inhabits the universe. The teaching emphasises that the local community is mandatory to take care of their environment, avoid exploiting nature, subsequently as an alarm to the individual to live in humble and responsible. Despite the locals are well adapted to modern technology and received higher education, apparently did not halt the rites. They believed the activities are identity as well as precious treasure from their honourable ancestor.

Abstract

Bali's coral reef restoration has been the topmost priority by the Indonesian Government and marine activists to save marine habitat in the long run. The action is necessary to halt severe damage that occurs in aquatic habitat over the years. The most apparent threat that has been faced is coral bleaching. Bali's water's tourism activities have sharply dipped between early to mid-2020, yet it did not stop the coral bleaching phenomenon. The phenomenon is occurring due to water temperature rise. The Government's decision to restrict public activity made the conservation task impossible to be done. Albeit challenges in coral conservation became a daunting task in 2020, pleasant news also came from the central Government. Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan revealed the central Government had compiled a National Economic Recovery (PEN) program for Indonesia Coral Reef Garden (ICRG) Bali. The program is coral reef restoration activities centered in Nusa Dua and several other areas such as Sanur, Serangan, Pandawa Beach, and Buleleng. The coral reef garden will be built using the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries National Economic Recovery fund worth IDR 111.2 billion. The fund will be used to build a 50 hectares coral plantation. Meanwhile, the Governor of Bali, I Wayan Koster, expressed his appreciation toward the program. Koster believed the program would significantly impact the community, especially in supporting economic recovery since the national economic recovery activities will involve more than 11,000 workers.
Re-emerging Issue of Bali Strait Connecting Bridge Eka Ari Suhendra

Abstract

After received harsh critiques in 2016, once more, a rumor about the construction of a bridge between Java island and Bali island has been sparking wildly since January 2020. Previously, Banyuwangi Regent Azwar anaz proposed a plan to build a connecting bridge to reduce vehicle queues in ketapang harbor. Commonly, the traffic would reach its peak time on holiday season after Eid al-Fitr, where congestion in Ketapang harbor got its limit capacity. For decades, the Bali strait has been serving as a connecting port between Java and Bali, which is essential for economic growth and public migration. Meanwhile, philosophically, the strait holds a symbol of new hope and new life that separates between past and future. A rumor to build an overpass between java island and Bali island discussed in early 2020 and in 2016 to reduce vehicle queues in ketapang harbor received critiques from Balinese society. To connect the two islands by land route would be considered a poor decision since it would affect some values and cultures that the community, especially Bali, holds dearly. Thus as an alternative solution, the idea of making another dock, an executive dock, both in Ketapang and Gilimanuk, is much preferred. The presence of the executive port will automatically eradicate the resurgent discourse on the Java-Bali bridge construction. Because crossing via ship alone takes 15 minutes, thus the Java-Bali bridge seems unnecessary. The executive pier would be in synergy with the construction of the Denpasar - Gilimanuk toll road.

Omed-omedan is a ritual in the Banjar Kaja Sesetan that is participated by local unmarried residents aged 17 to 30. It is a sacred tradition that should avoid being neglected. The ritual has been developed into an annual tourism event that attracts local and foreign visitors to witness the sheer and joyous festival. However, covid-19 pandemic threatened to cancel the Sesetan Heritage Omed-omedan Festival in 2020. after being discussed by the Sesetan village leaders, it was decided that the Omed-omedan would be held without any accompanying festival such as an entertainment stage, cultural parade, flea market or even grand opening ceremony to control the crowd. The participant of the Omed-omedan also reduced to only three pairs of adolescents, with strict health protocol. Nevertheless, traditional village leaders of Sesetan also pleaded to the public to reconsider their plan to visit the old tradition, especially for the year 2020.

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.

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.
