Abstract

This study re-examines the paradigm of heroic death in traditional performing arts through the Kumbakarna Lina (The Death of Kumbakarna) episode of Balinese shadow theatre as a dialectical locus between local values and global discourses. Employing an interpretive-hermeneutic approach, it integrates Balinese Hindu cosmology with Heidegger’s concept of Being-towards-death, Festinger’s theory of cognitive dissonance, and Schechner’s notion of restored behavior. Data were collected through participatory observation, visual documentation, textual analysis of the Kakawin Rāmāyana, and interviews with puppet masters and cultural practitioners. The findings highlight three contributions: (1) the conceptualization of transformative thanatology, positioning death as moral-cosmic integration; (2) the articulation of mesatya as a political-spiritual resistance principle transcending genealogical loyalty; and (3) the transformation of sacred narratives from textual media to contemporary performance and digital platforms, raising ethical concerns of authenticity. These insights enrich cross-cultural studies of death, heroism, and performance while offering practical implications for preserving and adapting tradition in the global era.

Abstract

This article presents a comparative study of language maintenance among the Balinese in Bali and the Dayak Ngaju in Central Kalimantan, viewed through the lenses of identity and core cultural values. Both groups share similarities in their sociocultural Hindu traditions and social structures: the Balinese are organized through the banjar (community system), while the Dayak Ngaju communities are traditionally based along river streams. The findings show that Balinese language maintenance is stronger than that of Dayak Ngaju. Balinese is widely used across traditional and modern cultural domains, while Dayak Ngaju is mainly used in traditional contexts. Moreover, Balinese is reinforced by its own script and a distinct diglossia structure, features absent in Dayak Ngaju. This study suggests that effective local language maintenance should consider the vitality of core cultural practices within each domain.

Abstract

The dynamic interplay of globalization and spiritual tradition creates a cultural synthesis. This study examines the transformation of yoga practices in Bali as driven by global consumerism. Using a qualitative approach, the research draws on observations and interviews with studio founders in Ubud, Seminyak, and Denpasar. The study identifies four main areas: ideology, practices, management, and symbols. The results show a shift from spiritual practices to commercialized wellness routines. Western-run studios emphasize commercial interests through paid services and international branding, while local founders favor community-focused approaches. The adaptation of Hindu spiritual symbols reflects a move away from cultural specificity and raises concerns about the erosion of local heritage. This research contributes to understanding how Bali’s deep-rooted rituals integrate with modern yoga practices introduced by global tourism. It highlights resistance to homogenization while honouring both tradition and new practices, adapting to modern influences without losing unique original values.

Abstract

This article explores the artistic significance and revitalization of the Sanghyang Grodog ritual in Lembongan Village, Bali, following a three-decade hiatus. Using a socio-artistic approach supported by social cohesion and semiotic theories, this study examines the ritual’s role in fostering social identity and promoting sustainable, culture-based tourism. Data were collected through participant observation, interviews, and secondary sources, with findings reinforced by focus group discussions. The results highlight the ritual’s embodiment of spiritual, social, and environmental harmony while addressing challenges posed by increasing tourism pressure. Despite limited public awareness, the ritual’s aesthetic and symbolic values serve as a catalyst for communal unity and sustainable cultural tourism. This study proposes a community-based tourism development strategy that includes the creation of a local mascot, visual branding, and the integration of arts into ecotourism and education, ensuring both cultural preservation and economic benefits for the community.

Abstract

The harmonious relationship between natural, social, and cultural landscapes for sustainable use represents an interaction between sites and surrounding communities. This research focuses on natural and cultural tourism allocations in forest resource management within the utilization zone of West Bali National Park (TNBB). Qualitative data analysis was conducted in the utilization zone designated for natural and cultural tourism, involving local communities around the conservation area. The findings indicate that the landscape in the utilization zone can maintain TNBB's conservation area sustainability through nature and culture-based tourism sites. This is supported by community involvement, which fosters harmonious relationships between TNBB management and village communities while improving local welfare through conservation efforts. The natural conditions and cultural aspects of six buffer villages directly bordering the National Park serve as powerful tourist attractions, contributing to the area's preservation and sustainable development.

Abstract

This article investigates the carbon footprints of tourists from various countries to inform Bali's sustainable tourism strategy, especially its environmental sustainability. Analysing data from the top 20 tourist-generating countries, the research employs a carbon footprint calculator to assess emissions associated with their flights. The findings categorise these countries into three groups based on their carbon emissions: low, medium, and high-carbon footprint markets. Countries with lower carbon footprints, particularly Southeast Asian ones, should be prioritised as target markets to promote sustainable tourism in Bali. Conversely, tourists from medium and high-carbon-footprint countries should be considered the less-preferred tourist market, and their number should be reduced through demarketing strategies. The article concludes with managerial implications and highlights research limitations, emphasising the need for ongoing efforts in sustainable tourism management.

Abstract

Tourism villages contribute significantly to Bali's economic development by promoting rural entrepreneurship. However, the sector faces challenges such as low product quality, ineffective marketing, and competition from low-cost imported products. This study explores collaboration and diversification strategies to ensure the economic sustainability of Bali’s village tourism and rural businesses. Data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using the SWOT method to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The results highlight the importance of community involvement, partnership networks, creative product development, effective marketing, and long-term business management. Findings from four villages indicate that collaboration with local industries and sustainable tourism initiatives enhances community income. To support sustainable tourism and improve community welfare, it is recommended that the government and stakeholders strengthen the promotion of local products and maximize the cultural and economic potential of villages.

Abstract

This study aims to estimate the survival rate of the accommodation industry in Bali during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis using a dataset comprising 3,378 accommodations in Bali. Two distinct survival analysis methodologies were employed: the Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. This study will also employ a qualitative analysis to examine the cultural characteristics of accommodation business resilience in Bali. Based on the patterns revealed in this research, hotels in operation for the last 10 years will have a 70% survival rate, in contrast with hotels in operation for over 40 years which have a 25% survival rate. This is especially the case of hotels that remain in operation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial 15-year period of business operations is identified as a critical juncture. Moreover, a notable discrepancies in survival rates was found across groups defined by specific variables, including the number of rooms, business scale, business typology, and location. Local culture is also discovered to be a crucial factor that enhances business adaptability and community ties, providing resilience.
