Abstract

Ecotourism has positive implications for the improvement of the economy of the local people, a better understanding of natural and cultural phenomena, and the preservation of both the nature and culture themselves, so that Bali tourism which is heavily reliant on culture will not die out. Balinese cultural characteristics and heritage covering the symbols, signs, artistic and literary forms of expression, language, way of life, ritual system, traditional knowledge, and myths handed down by the Balinese predecessors have such appeal to the world of tourism. Changes and shifts in the lifestyle, culture, and ritual system in the society are inevitable. This is a reflection of a culture that is flexible and open to other cultures and global development of technology. These shifts should not be a problem if the character and identity of the Balinese people consistently reflect the cultural heritage left by their predecessors. If tangible heritage can be restored when it is damaged due to acts of nature, what about the intangible cultural heritage? Collection of relevant data in this research was carried out through: (i) observation (field observation) and (ii) document study. The theory used in studying the problems in this research is the correlation theory of space, man and culture. This research identified the essence of the preservation of Bali’s intangible cultural heritage and the concept of governance of Bali’s intangible cultural heritage along with the dynamics of global cultural development by conducting a comprehensive study of the object, the process of its establishment, and its benefits for the people locally, nationally, and internationally. It is important to have a concept of governance that is supportive and directive so as to achieve the preservation of the ideal and sustainable cultural system in Bali. The benchmark for the cultural heritage preservation is not only focused on the manifestation of the cultural heritage itself, but also takes into consideration various factors surrounding the cultural heritage in an in-depth, structured, and systematic fashion.
