Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conserve the agricultural culture and to review the symbolic meaning and local wisdom in certain agricultural rituals. This research is conducted in Subak Kedua Pasedahan Yeh Lauh, Peguyangan Kangin Village, West Denpasar, Bali. Data is collected using the methods of interview and literature review. From the data collected, there are twenty four ritual steps found that should be performed by the farmers in Bali. Those indicate farmers’ religious nature and appreciation of their cultural tradition. Each ritual from sowing to harvesting contains symbolic meanings and cultural values embraced as the guidance in farming life. From the analyses concerning its ritual and tools used, it is concluded that the symbolic meaning of ritual discourse performed by the farmers are: (1) expressing gratitude to God for all abundant harvest grace; (2) asking permission for farming to the motherland as the manifestation of God in term of the ruler of the land; (3) asking for safety for having a successful agriculture to God (Goddess Sri); (4) offerings to the rice field rulers to be kept away from pests that damage plants; (5) keeping the environmental balance –in the philosophy of Hindu society in Bali, it is one of Tri Hita Karana’s best practices.

Abstract

Ubud Village in Gianyar Regency is one of the tourism areas in Bali where Balinese people are bilingual because they have mastered more than one languages. In the environment of Balinese language, there also live other languages including national language (Indonesian) and foreign languages (such as English, Japanese, and Mandarin). Balinese people nowadays, especially in tourism area, have difficulties in using Balinese language so they use mixed languages, namely Balinese language with Indonesian language, with English language, or Mandarin. This phenomenon might indicate that Balinese language appears to be marginalized. This article aims at investigating languages that are used in Balinese language environment in Ubud. Qualitative method is applied with sociocultural approach, and theories related to the use of language are applied. The study shows that the marginalization of Balinese language appears to exist because there are various ethnic groups of immigrants who live in this village. The village of Ubud has already been occupied by expatriates who deliberately come to Bali and settle in Ubud. This effects the choice and use of a language.

Abstract

Studies on Nusantara architecture often isolate spatial systems and disregard their shared cosmological foundations. This comparative study examines how cosmology shapes spatial planning in the Balinese Tri Mandala (a tripartite spatial hierarchy) and the Javanese Catur Gatra Tunggal (a quadripartite civic order), with a focus on orientation, zoning, and structure. Using an interpretive qualitative approach, the research draws on Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics, Ricoeur’s symbolic hermeneutics, and spatial phenomenology. The findings show that both traditions project cosmology into space through different spatial logics: Bali emphasizes a vertical sacred–profane hierarchy, whereas Java stresses horizontal integration of social, religious, and political domains. Variations in spatial form do not indicate distinct cosmological paradigms but rather different symbolic expressions of comparable ontological concepts. The novelty of this study lies in synthesizing zoning, structure, orientation, and philosophical meaning into a unified analytical model that views architecture as a spatial knowledge system mediating relationships among humans, nature, and transcendence.

Abstract

Overtourism threatens destination sustainability, accelerating stagnation or decline within the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC), as Bali’s ecological stress, cultural commodification, and governance fragility illustrate. This study explores rural digital nomadism as an exploratory strategy for sustainable rejuvenation in Kelecung Eco Village, Tabanan, Bali. Using a longitudinal single-case design (2020-2026), it draws on 22 interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and a feasibility survey of 85 respondents. Integrating co-living, co-working, and authentic cultural experiences initially extended visitor stays, diversified household income, and repositioned the village within global flows. Constrained by weak marketing, livingwage pressures, and institutional resistance, the village strategically refocused on its edu-ecotourism model while keeping rural digital nomadism as its main future direction. Theoretically, the study extends TALC to the Global South through participatory nomadism, distinguishing community-embedded models from urban nomad bubbles. Practically, it shows that rejuvenation depends on formal institutional and financial support.

Abstract

This study investigates how Bali, Indonesia, and Beishan, China, strategically sustain their cultural identities amid globalising pressures. It addresses a gap in comparative resilience research by moving beyond sector-specific analyses to uncover the underlying principles of cultural adaptation. Using qualitative oral history, the research captures grassroots perspectives to reveal two contrasting paradigms: Bali enacts centripetal resilience, defending a sacred cultural core through ritual and social cohesion, whereas Beishan pursues centrifugal innovation, treating heritage as assets for entrepreneurial fusion with global culture. The findings demonstrate that the nature of perceived threats shapes whether communities adopt defensive fortification or proactive reinvention. The study argues that cultural resilience is not a universal strategy but a contextually coherent alignment of ontology, threat perception, and adaptive action. By proposing a comparative framework of centripetal and centrifugal resilience, it advances resilience theory and provides a transferable analytical lens for understanding how communities negotiate continuity and change across diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Jembrana Regency in West Bali is a multicultural region shaped by long-standing religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, further reinforced by its historical ties with neighboring Java through migration and trade. Using Pulukan Village as a case study, this research examines how religious moderation and multiculturalism are constructed in everyday community life. The study employs a qualitative approach combining critical ethnography and ethnomethodology. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving religious leaders, customary leaders, village officials, and community members from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds. The findings show that religious moderation is sustained not only through formal policies but also through everyday practices, including cooperation, interfaith participation in community activities, and dialogue-based conflict resolution. Multiculturalism is strengthened through continuous interaction, adaptation, identity negotiation, and mutual recognition of differences. This study demonstrates how locally rooted values and participatory community practices can foster social cohesion and provides insights for promoting religious moderation in other multicultural settings.

Abstract

Besakih Village, home to Bali’s most sacred temple complex, generates 7.23 tons of waste per day, of which only 6.78 percent is processed due to limited capacity, leaving the remainder unmanaged. This study develops a sustainable waste management model by integrating the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana (THK): spiritual balance (parahyangan), social (pawongan), and ecological (palemahan). Using Participatory Action Research, data were collected through focus group discussions, interviews, and stakeholder-led waste audits. The findings indicate that integrating THK enhances waste governance. The parahyangan dimension restructures ritual waste management, while pawongan strengthens community participation through banjar-level waste banks and 24 green jobs. The palemahan dimension promotes circular practices by converting organic waste into compost and refuse-derived fuel. Household participation reached 89 percent, diverting 125.57 tons of waste during the program period and increasing workers' monthly income by IDR 1.5 million. Overall, integrating cultural values with circular-economy principles enhances resilience in community-based waste management systems.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of revitalizing local values through the construction of myths that can bridge spirituality, education, and the creative economy within the context of conservation and sustainable tourism. The research focuses on how the myths of the Manguni bird and the Bali Starling are constructed and transformed as media for education, conservation, and the creative economy, including challenges encountered.  Critical discourse analysis, social construction and eco-biology theory are employed to interpret these phenomena. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that bird mythology in Bali and Minahasa communities both is constructed within local narratives and transformed into a medium for ecological ethics education, creative innovation, and ecotourism development. These findings emphasize the importance of policies that integrate such strategies into the management of ecotourism, and encourage the adoption of a development paradigm rooted in cultural authenticity.

Abstract

The paper examines how Balinese women organise their work within a tourism economy shaped by cultural obligations and gendered expectations. Using constructivist grounded theory and fieldwork at the Sukawati Art Market, Bali, it advances a Quadruple Roles framework reconceptualising women's labour as comprising reproductive, productive, sociocultural, and spiritual dimensions. With Moser's triple-role model and Tri Hita Karana as sensitising concepts, in-depth interviews and participant observation allowed spirituality to emerge inductively as an analytically distinct dimension of labour. Evidence shows that ritual practices establish the moral legitimacy that structures household work, market participation, and community organisation, even amid constraints of patriarchy, limited capital, and market competition. By reconceptualising spiritual obligation as labour, the paper demonstrates that culturally embedded tourism economies operate within a moral economy rather than a purely market system, with implications for gender-sensitive destination governance and comparative research.
