Abstract

This study examines the role of the Legong Pancer Langit Dance, a Balinese Hindu tradition rooted in Tri Hita Karana (harmony with God, humans, and nature), as a vehicle for cultural diplomacy and national character strengthening. Focusing on its 2023 performance at the Jeddah Cultural Festival, the research uses qualitative methods including interviews, observations, and document analysis. The movements like mutering jagat (rotational steps symbolizing unity) and ngelayak (back-bridge posture reflecting environmental stewardship) resonated with Islamic values such as tawazun (balance) and habluminnallah (human-God harmony). Adaptations like modest costumes and viral campaigns (#LegongEyeChallenge), enabled the dance to navigate cultural sensitivities while preserving authenticity. The study highlights the dance facilitated intercultural dialogue, reinforcing Pancasila values, and projecting national identity. Policy recommendations incorporating traditional arts into diplomatic education and leveraging augmented reality (AR) for heritage preservation. Ultimately, the Legong Pancer Langit exemplifies how intangible heritage can strengthen cultural diplomacy in globalized contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) based on Tri Parartha—a Balinese moral philosophy emphasizing compassion (asih), giving (punya), and devotion (bhakti)—at the Village Credit Institution (LPD) of Gelgel customary village, Klungkung District, East Bali. Using an ethnomethodological approach, data were analyzed through indexicality (contextual meaning of expressions) and reflexivity (actors’ reasoning behind actions). The findings show that Tri Parartha shapes CSR practices as culturally embedded actions rather than responses to external mandates. Asih appears in environmental care, punya in support for vulnerable groups and youth, and bhakti in religious contributions. These practices reinforce mutual trust, community participation, and legitimacy. The study contributes to CSR theory by offering a culturally grounded alternative to dominant Western models, illustrating how local moral frameworks can sustain inclusive and resilient institutions. Tri Parartha-based CSR demonstrates that ethical business practices rooted in indigenous values can create a self-reinforcing cycle of social benefit and community empowerment.

Abstract

Balinese Hinduism provides a rich context for exploring the intersection of material culture and religious belief. This study aims to explore the dual roles of daluang (also known as walantaga) in Balinese Hindu rituals, functioning both as a ritual object and a sacred symbol. Utilizing ethnographic methods and textual analysis, the research draws from four Balinese Hindu lontar manuscripts, including Kakawin Ramayana, Wedana Pujastawa, Yajna Prakerti and Pujastawa Wedana. Data collection involved participant observation and interviews conducted with seven Hindu priests. Guided by Geertz’s interpretive framework, findings reveal that daluang serves not only as a material for crafting key ritual items but also as a vital medium for spiritual communication, embodying core cultural values and cosmological concepts within Balinese Hinduism. This study contributes to broader discussions on the role of material culture in sustaining intangible religious heritage and expression in contemporary Balinese society.

Abstract

This paper examines the collaborative roles of the public and private sectors in tourism disaster management, with a focus on Bali and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. These regions, renowned for their tourism significance, are highly vulnerable to natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Employing a multiple-case study approach, the research utilized semi-structured interviews with tourism stakeholders and focus group discussions with experts. The findings reveal notable differences in disaster preparedness between Bali and Yogyakarta, shaped by variations in policies, industry structures, and resource capacities. Drawing on Collaborative Governance Theory, the study underscores the critical role of structured stakeholder engagement in fostering shared goals, resource pooling, and mutual accountability in disaster management. Additionally, the research highlights the potential of integrating Indonesia’s early warning technologies—such as the Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (MHEWS), tsunami and weather alerts by BMKG, and volcano hazard warnings by PVMBG—into localized disaster management frameworks to enhance preparedness and response. Public-private collaborations at both national and regional levels emerge as pivotal for strengthening disaster resilience in tourism-dependent areas. By aligning collaborative efforts with technological advancements, this study offers actionable insights for improving disaster management practices, safeguarding the tourism industry, and ensuring the well-being of affected communities. The research underscores the importance of comprehensive guidelines, enhanced stakeholder coordination, and the adoption of innovative technologies to mitigate disaster risks and promote sustainable tourism.

Abstract

Bali's tourism sector is facing increasing competition, underscoring the need for empirical insights into tourist loyalty within heritage accommodations to support sustainability and cultural preservation. This study explores the influence of brand attributes and travel motivation on tourist loyalty, with service quality as a mediating factor, using Inna Group Bali’s heritage hotels as a case. A sequential mixed-methods approach was used, combining 400 survey responses analyzed through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with qualitative data from in-depth interviews. The results reveal that brand associations and pull motivation are key drivers of loyalty. Service quality fully mediates the effects of motivation and satisfaction. The proposed BHALIDEL model shows that combining architectural authenticity with modern service standards creates a competitive advantage. Recommendations include (1) partnering with heritage bodies to institutionalize conservation, (2) training staff in cultural intelligence, (3) curating thematic experiences with digital storytelling, and (4) applying adaptive reuse technologies to maintain heritage aesthetics while improving efficiency.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted Bali's tourism sector, with international tourism declining by 99% in 2021 due to travel restrictions. Despite the dire circumstances, the hotel industry in Bali is recovering quickly. This study examines the effects of COVID-19 on organizational trust and employee loyalty in the tourism industry, focusing on long-term effects and post-pandemic recovery. A survey of 200 employees from three to five-star hotels in Bali assessed the impact on loyalty and the mediating role of organizational trust. Findings indicate that management's pandemic-related actions reduced employee loyalty due to decreased job security and heightened stress. Organizational trust declined during tourism uncertainty, particularly from early 2020 to mid-2022, but showed signs of recovery in 2023 and 2024. Results from expert interviews indicate that trust mitigated the pandemic's impact on employee loyalty, with the cultural values of the Hindu philosophy Tri Hita Karana playing a significant role in Balinese society. This study underscores the importance of organizational trust in maintaining employee loyalty post-crisis.

Abstract

The lack of waste management awareness leading to waste accumulation has prompted elementary schools in Denpasar to implement a Hindu Eco-ethics-based Zero Waste program. Using a qualitative research method with a field study approach, this study aims to explore and analyze the program’s implementation, challenges, and its implications for strengthening student character. Primary data was collected through interviews and observations, supported by secondary data from literature reviews and documentation. Through qualitative data analysis using the Miles and Huberman approach and verified with triangulation techniques, the findings reveal that the Zero Waste program focuses on systematic efforts to enable school communities to manage their own waste. The challenges include awareness gaps, infrastructure limitations, and insufficient external support. Despite these obstacles, the program shows positive impacts on student character building. This research provides guidelines for waste management program development and serving as a reference for future environmental studies.

Abstract

This study delves into the cultural, pharmacological, and spiritual significance of Tri Ketuka, a traditional Balinese polyherbal formulation composed of Acorus calamus, Cryptocarya massoy, and Allium sativum, as documented in classical Usadha manuscripts. These three plants are not only known for their therapeutic properties but also for their symbolic role in promoting balance and holistic well-being within Balinese healing and yoga traditions. This qualitative study employed document analysis to investigate the use of Tri Ketuka in both healing rituals and yoga-based practices, particularly the Jala Neti nasal cleansing technique. The analysis is supported by illustrative testimonial evidence from users. The findings underscore the medicinal, spiritual, and cultural value of Tri Ketuka, affirming its relevance in both traditional and modern wellness contexts. The study also highlights the potential for integrating Balinese traditional medicine into contemporary healthcare as part of alternative and complementary therapies.

Abstract

The resistance to patriarchal domination in Japanese and Balinese societies between 1989 and 2019 is reflected in various literary works that portray women's struggles against restrictive social norms. In this vein, this study compares the forms and meanings of resistance depicted in the Japanese novels Out by Natsuo Kirino and Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata with the Balinese novels Tempurung and Kenanga by Oka Rusmini. Using qualitative research with a cultural studies approach, it identifies two shared forms of resistance: rejection of traditional gender roles and struggle for bodily autonomy. Differences appear in the forms, with radical resistance in the Japanese novels and subversive resistance in the Balinese novels, and in the backgrounds, where structural oppression shapes the Japanese texts while traditional customs influence the Balinese texts. Ultimately, these narratives critique both Japanese patriarchy and Balinese customary traditions that constrain women’s identities and choices.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a model for addressing multiple identities of the Balinese lexicon within the anggah-ungguhing (speech level) system. The model developed is expected to resolve the multiple identities frequently found in the Balinese speech level dictionaries and similar references. Furthermore, this study was based on the principles of classification, applying the theory of lexical semantic feature differentiation. A qualitative method was used, and the data were collected through document recording and questionnaire methods. The data were then analyzed using the extralingual context method, with a focus on the domain of lexical use. This process facilitated the creation of a matrix for the Balinese lexical semantic differentiation and a work table for vocabulary identification within the speech level system. The two conceptual products effectively addressed the multiple identities of the Balinese words within the speech level system.
