Environmental Wisdom in Management of Tourism Village Penglipuran in Bangli Regency

Abstract

Bali's natural environment is one of the tourist attractions besides cultural heritage. In the development of Bali tourism, it is not uncommon for physical development to contradict the natural environment so that it tends to over exploit nature without considering Bali's natural characteristics. In addition, it is not uncommon for the perpetrators of the development of Anmesia to be the wisdom of Balinese civilization that has been tested in maintaining environmental balance. Therefore, research on local cultural values about environmental sustainability is important. This study seeks to examine environmental wisdom in managing the attraction of Penglipuran Tourism Village, in Kubu Village, Bangli Regency. The aim is to find out the form and meaning of environmental wisdom in managing tourism villages. There are two theories used in this study, namely the theory of ecocentrism and the theory of discourse on knowledge of power. The method of data collection is done by observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies, and data analysis is descriptive qualitative. The results of the study show a form of environmental wisdom in managing the attraction of Penglipuran tourism village in the form of wisdom in settlement management, forest management, and tourism village management. The meaning of environmental wisdom in the management of Penglipuran tourism village includes the meaning of nature conservation, sociocultural meaning, and economic meaning. This study recommends that managing alternative tourism in Bali should implement eco-tourism-based tourism (ecotourism).
