The Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies) is an area study journal that specializes in publishing research-based articles about Bali. The topics of articles about Bali that can be published are very diverse including Balinese culture, politics, music, language, architecture, literature, history, mass media, popular culture, tourism, economy, environment, health, law, management, religion, and Balinese customs. The journal would also like to publish articles on Bali with comparative approaches. The Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies) is published twice a year, every April and October. Published articles are reviewed in a single blinded manner. The Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies) was first published in April 2011 by the Center for Balinese Studies, University of Udayana. Starting from April 2019, the journal is published jointly by the Center for Balinese Studies and the Center of Excellence in Tourism, University of Udayana. However, starting April 2020, the Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies) was published by the Center for Cultural Research and the Center of Excellence in Tourism, University of Udayana. This change occurred because of the reorganization of research centers at Udayana University from the end of 2019.

Abstract

The present paper was designed to point out if the practice of Balinese spatial system by its speakers is linguistic or cultural in nature. Several scholars indicated, though not dominantly, that the use of a relative system in Balinese spatial system was observed to be used by their research participants. Other scholars in their studies, employing linguistic and nonlinguistic tasks in the production tasks, nevertheless, found out that an absolute system was largely practiced by their research participants. Additionally, there are also quite recent studies investigating the use of Balinese spatial system by local signers in Bengkala village. The findings pointed out that children and adult deaf subjects consistently used pointing in linguistic tasks. However, the child and adult deaf subjects used absolute responses in nonlinguistic tasks. Cultural and Balinese Hindu religious practices seem to guide the use of spatial systems in Balinese.

Abstract

This study examines the intersemiotic translation of The Book of Esther into Balinese paintings in the Cheerful Good News collection published by the Indonesian Bible Society (2007). Using a qualitative case study, it analyzes how biblical narratives are reinterpreted through Balinese visual aesthetics using strategies of reduction, addition, focalization, integration, and symbolic adaptation. Each artwork is explored for textual fidelity, cultural and symbolic localization, and multimodal construction. The study highlights how simplification, substitution, and narrative emphasis reframe themes like courage, justice, and divine providence. While some narrative elements are condensed or altered, theological meanings are retained through symbolic codes and emotional framing. Rather than one-to-one equivalence, the process reflects interpretive transformation based on cultural and semiotic norms. The article contributes to translation studies and visual anthropology by applying intersemiotic frameworks within Southeast Asia, demonstrating how sacred texts are visually reimagined through local idioms rooted in religious symbolism and aesthetic tradition.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of Bali Governor Regulation No. 55/2019 on Balinese Traditional Medicine (BTM) across traditional healers (pengusada), community health centers (Puskesmas), and hospitals. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted in 2023 using structured online questionnaires distributed to 64 pengusada, 111 Puskesmas leaders, and 38 hospital directors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The regulation strengthened pengusada legitimacy, with 70% reporting improved recognition. While 91% of Puskesmas have integrated BTM services, hospital utilization remains low, with 70.6% reporting fewer than ten monthly visits. Key barriers include shortages of certified personnel, limited funding, weak infrastructure, and exclusion from National Health Insurance (BPJS) coverage. Nevertheless, 98.2% of facility leaders support integration with conventional healthcare and wellness tourism. Strengthening certification, financing mechanisms, and reimbursement inclusion is essential for sustainable integration within Bali’s healthcare system

Abstract

This study conducts a sentiment analysis of customer reviews for Ayam Betutu Khas Gilimanuk Cabang Tuban on TripAdvisor, a leading platform for culinary and tourism references, to assess consumer perceptions in the digital era. While prior research has explored online reviews in the restaurant industry, few focus on heritage culinary establishments, leaving a gap this study addresses by analysing 421 reviews (2012–2024) across variables such as rating, comment, and region. Using RStudio, the data underwent text preprocessing (tokenisation, case-folding, stopword removal), sentiment labelling (positive, neutral, negative), and lexicon-based analysis, supplemented by word clouds and temporal trend evaluation. Findings reveal predominantly positive sentiment towards the restaurant’s signature Balinese ayam betutu, though areas like service, cleanliness, and ambience require improvement. Theoretically, the study highlights that product quality alone cannot sustain positive sentiment without complementary service excellence, while practical implications offer actionable strategies for heritage restaurants and regional gastronomy development, bridging digital analytics with culinary heritage preservation.

Abstract

This comparative study examines how customary sanctions are applied in response to traditional law violations in Tenganan Pegringsingan (Bali) and Kajang Tanah Towa (South Sulawesi), and how these sanctions sustain ecological balance and social harmony. The research was conducted using in-depth interviews and participatory observation. Various types of sanctions are regulated by written and unwritten rules (traditional written customary law) of Tenganan Pegringsingan, including dosen, penging, sikang, sapa sumaba, and kesah. Meanwhile, in the Kajang Tanah Towa indigenous community, violations of the pasang (oral customary guidelines) are met with mild to severe sanctions. Serious violations are punished with poko’ ba’bala (base of the whip – for severe violations), tangnga ba’bala (middle of the whip – for moderate violations), and cappa ba’bala (tip of the whip – for minor violations). This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how indigenous legal systems function as effective mechanisms for environmental governance and community resilience.

Abstract

This article aims to reveal the phenomenon of religious moderation between Balinese Hindus and Sasak Muslims at the shared sacred space of Lingsar Temple in the Muslim-dominated island of Lombok (east of Bali) from a theo-humanist perspective. It addresses how theology, as the foundation of religious belief, can be transformed into humanistic practices that foster religious moderation in everyday interactions. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach grounded in hermeneutics, phenomenology, and social construction theory, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and interpreted through reflective analysis. This study finds that theo-humanism functions as a central social mechanism in realizing religious moderation at Lingsar Temple through two interrelated processes: the construction of a shared sacred space and the transformation of theological awareness into lived social harmony. Theo-humanism translates abstract theological doctrines into empirical social practices through three Bergerian moments—externalization, objectivation, and internalization—reproduced and sustained across generations, enabling theological plurality to be continuously negotiated as practical interreligious coexistence.

Abstract

Bali, which has the highest suicide rate in Indonesia, provides a critical context for examining suicide notes as both cultural texts and forensic evidence. This study examines how Balinese people communicate finality through language and how these styles relate to authenticity. Five suicide notes, written in Balinese and verified by authorities as genuine, were purposively sampled from online news. Using qualitative content analysis within frameworks of Olsson’s Insider and Outsider and Cultural Discourse Analysis, the findings show that authenticity is conveyed indirectly through culturally disciplined language rather than explicit declarations. Finality is predominantly framed through a journey metaphor which reflects Balinese Hindu beliefs. This study contributes to forensic linguistics by demonstrating that authenticity in local suicide notes is inseparable from local cultures and norms.

Abstract

Debates on community governance increasingly examine micro-practices that generate compliance without coercion. This study analyzes the marebu agung marriage completion ritual in an Old Balinese (Bali Aga) village, Desa Adat Binyan (Binyan Customary Village), Kintamani District, as a disciplinary mechanism that structures differentiated forms of customary citizenship. Based on a twelve-month ethnographic case study using observation, interviews, and analysis of awig-awig (customary regulations), the research shows that ritual choreography shapes subjects through regulated bodily action. Temporal deadlines and escalating material sanctions sustain compliance, while horizontal social visibility encourages mutual monitoring. The tripartite krama (customary membership categories) system withholds full recognition until ritual completion, linking marital legitimacy to community membership. Using Foucauldian analytics, the study demonstrates how sacred ritual operates as a technology of power within customary governance, contributing to global discussions on ritualized citizenship and non-state disciplinary systems.

Abstract

Many public and organizational programs achieve technical success, regulatory compliance, and high budget absorption, yet fail to sustain outcomes once external support ends, as prevailing evaluation frameworks emphasize outputs over sustainability. This gap reflects the absence of an integrated perspective on how institutional conditions shape long-term durability. This paper proposes the Panca Datu Logic Framework (PDLF), where panca denotes “five” and datu foundational elements, as a conceptual guide for sustainability evaluation. Using a conceptual-synthetic approach grounded in abductive reasoning, the framework is illustrated through three case-based simulations in Bali: rabies control, community-based turtle conservation, and waste management programs. The PDLF conceptualizes sustainability as an emergent, non-compensatory property arising from alignment among five domains—legal, human, financial, infrastructure, and culture—with culture positioned as an outcome of systemic coherence. The framework offers an analytical lens to explain both program fragility and sustained performance across institutional and geographical gradients spanning local, national, and global contexts.

Abstract

Balinese Arak (an alcoholic beverage) faces structural challenges in governance, market positioning, and brand consolidation despite legalization under Bali Governor Regulation No. 1 of 2020 and production exceeding 4,000 liters per month. Fragmented pricing, inconsistent quality, and weak brand governance limit its competitiveness in Bali’s hospitality industry, dominated by imported wines and international spirits. This study examines how stakeholder collaboration and governance mechanisms strengthen branding and competitive positioning of Balinese Arak as a heritage-based tourism product. Using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with artisans, cooperatives, government officials, and hospitality actors in Karangasem Regency (a key production center) in East Bali, the findings reveal that regulatory support, cooperative institutionalization, product standardization, and collaborative branding convert cultural legitimacy into competitive advantage. Branding functions as a governance-driven process integrating quality assurance, adaptive innovation, and cross-sector collaboration, enhancing market credibility, hospitality integration, and long-term sustainability within Bali’s tourism economy.
