Menciptakan lingkungan yang berkelanjutan. + (Creating a sustainable environment. Wast … Creating a sustainable environment. Waste is a very common problem in the global community, and Bali is one of them. Waste is the residual material generated from a domestic or industrial production process that has negative consequences and impacts on the environment. Bali is an island known for its many beautiful tourist attractions, making it a frontline destination for world tourism as well as a gateway to Indonesia from various countries, so it is visited by many foreign and local tourists, but until now there are still problems in maintaining environmental cleanliness, namely a lot of garbage everywhere and cannot be resolved completely. As previously known, there was a fire in one of the landfills in Bali which resulted in air pollution that disturbed the health of the surrounding community and the smoke could be seen from the air, besides that the news of the fire was also spread on various social media platforms. In addition, cleanliness on the beaches, rivers and on the streets is also still not maintained cleanliness and openness in disposing of garbage, so that from the incident certainly tarnished the image of Bali tourism because considering tourism is synonymous with cleanliness, beauty, friendliness of the surrounding environment.Therefore, the government in Bali needs to emphasize prioritizing environmental cleanliness programs with waste processing technology, such as collecting plastic waste and then giving it to the environmental agency to create a waste bank, as well as the firmness of regulations in creating changes in attitudes and behavior of the community and village officials through Bumdes must be maximally mobilized, waste is used to be useful and economically valuable. Moreover, plastic waste is the main impact in environmental pollution because it cannot be destroyed by itself, therefore the need for affirmation of plastic waste recycling with the 3R steps, namely reducing, reusing, and recycling. So that it is expected to create a clean and healthy environment, a healthy environment is a clean environment starting from fresh air with minimal air pollution, clean water, and soil. Living with a clean and healthy environment will certainly have a positive impact on our lives, which indirectly a healthy environment will nourish our body and soul. For that, let's together maintain the cleanliness of the surrounding environment for a healthy and clean environment, if not us who else.and clean environment, if not us who else.)

Mengubah Target Pasar Wisatawan + (Currently, Bali has a heavy responsibility … Currently, Bali has a heavy responsibility in restoring tourism due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As one of the regions with the largest source of PAD from tourism, Bali is experiencing a slump with a crucial decline in annual income. Therefore, stakeholders both from the private sector and the government and even the community must find solutions to these problems.If you analyze the target market, Bali itself tends to target foreign tourists. This can be seen in terms of the supply provided by Bali, price differences and special treatment for foreign tourists. This can also be felt in terms of the quality of accommodation and attractions available that adjust to standards or market segmentation of international tourists. This affects the high cost or spending of money needed by tourists to enjoy tourism in Bali. Meanwhile, the market power of foreign tourists is currently still very low given the circumstances that make it difficult for foreign tourists to visit Indonesia, such as restrictions on the entry of foreign flights, quarantine policies in Jakarta and the development of COVID-19 cases which are still not safe.Therefore, tourism can now rely on domestic tourists to target the Bali tourism market. This then requires policies that adapt to the segmentation of domestic tourists. This must also get support from the private sector and the wider community, which tend to ignore the domestic market because spending money tends to be lower. This can result in a low level of satisfaction and engagement of tourists with the destination so that it can influence their decision to revisit Bali.To prevent this, the government needs to provide more specific policies to increase the interest of domestic tourists visiting Bali. It also aims to increase tourism competitiveness in Bali with 5 super priority destinations that are currently the focus of the central government, such as Lake Toba, Mandalika, Borobudur, Labuan Bajo and Lingkupang. Optimizing the domestic market for tourism recovery in Bali will be able to be a good economic stimulus during the COVID-19 pandemic, which still doesn't know when it will end.which still doesn't know when it will end.)

WUJUD DEMOKRASI DALAM PEMILU + (Democracy is a 'surrogate election' by inc … Democracy is a 'surrogate election' by incompetent parties in which many agreements are perverted.Democracy has now been greatly eroded by the current of globalization, even democracy itself has become a pioneer which has resulted in our country being influenced by foreign or western countries. In fact, it can be said that currently Indonesian democracy reflects more on external democracy so that the meaning of democracy itself has been erased or even faded. In fact, if Indonesia wants, we can make this democracy a forum for making the country developed. The cultivation of democracy itself should also have started from an early age so that the understanding contained therein can become a motivation for a good state life. And the nation's next generation will be able to implement a good and correct democratic system.Indeed, it can be said that Indonesia is a democratic country, but in fact that democracy has been eroded and even polluted by foreign countries that have entered our country. Especially at this time, after I read and quoted from detik.com there it was explained that former Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri confirmed that the validity of democracy in Indonesia was being tested. Because there are still citizens who cannot accept diversity in Indonesia. Many people differentiate between religion, race, or who they are. Leaders should be able to erase all of that, not just make promises.With these differences, it is clear that Indonesia is not a democratic country because Indonesia has been oppressed by the current of globalization which is becoming more and more rampant among society. Even if we look at the government system, Indonesia has adopted a western country system. reflecting on rural areas that have never been reached by the government and are thought to be forgotten by the government. So here it will give rise to discrimination that the village is not the State of Indonesia because it is never considered. And young people who will succeed the nation will never be instilled with a spirit of democracy because their parents are reluctant to see a president who has treated the villages unfairly.This will be a great opportunity for other countries to develop business and make rural residents think better of foreign countries.In my opinion, there are several things that make democracy possible so that it can be implemented well, democracy provides the opportunity to enable citizens to participate directly or through their agents, in the formulation, development and making of laws. And the most important thing is, Indonesian citizens must be able to implement cooperation not only with the government but also with the people. Because good democracy is created by the government for the people and back to the people.ent for the people and back to the people.)

Krisis Macet ring Kodya, Transportasi Umum Solusinya! + (Denpasar is a city that is sought after am … Denpasar is a city that is sought after among domestic and foreign tourists because of its rich culture, traditions and unique tourist destinations. However, because Denpasar is visited by many tourists and also has a dense population, traffic conditions in this city are often jammed and obstructed. Air pollution due to motorized vehicles, strong sunlight during the day and rows of stationary vehicles are common sights in Denpasar. Of course, this will make many people feel cramped and disturbed and affect comfort in their activities. This is caused by the large number of people who have private vehicles. Even though there are stops for public transportation in the city, people prefer to drive themselves. Therefore, at certain hours, traffic conditions in Denpasar are very congested because there are so many people traveling at the same time. Private vehicles also produce more smoke than public transportation, thereby affecting the surrounding environmental conditions. Management of public transportation can indeed be a solution to this problem. Developed countries such as America, England, Germany and others have implemented public transportation systems first and can reduce problems due to traffic jams because they are normalized and often used by the residents of these countries. Public transportation already exists in Denpasar, but is rarely used because demand from the public is too low. This is something that the city government must pay attention to so that it can be managed better to increase public interest. Currently, public transportation in Denpasar is public buses which have their own stops or transport places. However, these stops are located in less strategic places. There are still many places that are densely populated and where there is a lot of activity, such as school areas or shopping places and others where there are no bus stops. The current bus stops are not centered in a particular place and tend to be quite far from the places where most people go so that people who want to go to those places have to walk again. Even though it's only a short walk, Indonesians usually prefer to ride motorbikes rather than buses, even though the distance is not far. The government can use the "push and pull strategy" to increase people's interest in using public transportation. This "push and pull strategy" is carried out at the same time to get maximum results. "Push strategy" is a more aggressive and proactive way where the government can encourage people by limiting the number of private vehicles and also special traffic lanes for public transportation so that roads are faster. The "pull strategy" is more passive and is carried out by improving the quality of public transportation itself, such as creating bus stops in places where many people go or special buses to take students to school. If this "push and pull strategy" can be implemented well, over time people will begin to realize the advantages of using public transportation and will use it more often. By optimizing public transportation, I believe we can end the traffic jam crisis in our beloved municipality and reduce air pollution from vehicle exhaust. Let's all use public transportation!aust. Let's all use public transportation!)
DENPASAR SAYAN KOSEKAN + (Denpasar is the capital of the province of … Denpasar is the capital of the province of Bali, its strategic regional position has made this city develop very quickly so that the past face of the city of Denpasar as a royal city has changed into a modern and multiethnic city. The development of the Denpasar City concerns growth in the economic, educational, technological, social and cultural aspects which have been mixed with foreign culture. The city of Denpasar also has the characteristics of a big city where there is widespread development of shopping centers, modern markets, entertainment centers, hotels, and many more. This certainly has a positive impact on Denpasar's economy, but on the other hand, this affects the population of Denpasar city which will also affect several other aspects. The population according to the latest BPS data for 2023 is 726,800 people. The population of Denpasar will be numerous if we add the number of residents from outside Bali and foreigners who live to earn a living. A large population will affect the carrying capacity from various aspects, especially the availability of space, which is very limited and is not increasingSpatial planning problems in Denpasar include residential housing which is increasingly eroding green open land which should be at 30%. The large population makes land increasingly scarce, land prices will increase, the development of the city of Denpasar can no longer be oriented horizontally but vertically to save the remaining land. This can make the city of Denpasar even more difficult to breathe. A large number of populations also brings other problems such as the accumulation of waste in landfills, one of which is the Biaung landfill. Until now, in my opinion, there is no best solution by the government for waste management in landfills. Various ideas and solutions have been offered, such as TPS3R, buying machines, and even planning to build another waste’s management point at the landfill, but this does not help at all, the government should stop the problem at the source, not with solutions that will create new problems. The problem that Denpasar also has recently experienced is traffic jams. Congestion occurs due to the increasing population and each resident has a private transportation and does not use public transportation. The government should be able to optimize public transportation programs such as Teman Bus or Trans Sarbagita Bus which can be used especially for student or workers, and try to increasing bus routes and build more bus stop facilities. The government should also provide sosialitation regarding the benefits and purposes of using public transportation to people so that people know why it is better to use public transportation rather than private transportation. It can be concluded that population density can have bad effects in various areas of life such as spatial problem in Denpasar, waste and pollution problems, and heavy traffic jams everywhere. With this, it is hoped that the government can think of a way out of the various problems described earlier, lest this problem has already become big or even gone viral on social media before being handled by the government. I also hope that the government will always be open to the opinions and views of the community so that solutions can be found together.y so that solutions can be found together.)

Dewa Putu Kantor + (Dewa Putu Kantor, born in Sukawati, Gianya … Dewa Putu Kantor, born in Sukawati, Gianyar, 1957. He is a traditional painter who adheres to the Batuan painting style. He learned to paint the Batuan technique from the painters Dewa Putu Mangku, Dewa Made Jaya, and Made Body. For more than nine years he has absorbed the famous Batuan style painting technique with the concept of a picture space that is full, complicated, dark in color and without a clear focus.He then simplified the complex style into the pulling and twisting of lines that form a certain shape without any Chinese ink coating process. The drawings rely solely on the strength of the lines that affect the integrity of the work. The themes of his works have also changed, from wayang stories to the daily themes of rural communities. He became known as a neo-traditional painter because he portrayed the daily life of Balinese rural people in the contemporary era. He returns the power of Balinese painting to its core, namely, lines. At first glance, his drawings remind people of the works of I Gusti Nyoman Lempad.The wholeness and strength of his work rests on the simplicity and sharpness of the lines. Using Chinese ink and a small bamboo brush, he draws the atmosphere of the market, the penggak stall, the tajen, the ceremony at the temple, the village youth playing the gamelan, the car with its cargo, the children with their games, folklore, the girl bathing in the river, and various activities. village life.

I Dewa Putu Mokoh + (Dewa Putu Mokoh was the first of six child … Dewa Putu Mokoh was the first of six children. He was born in Pengosekan, Ubud in 1936. His father, Dewa Rai Batuan, was an undagi (traditional Balinese architect) and famous gamelan musician. His mother, Gusti Niang Rai, was an expert in making lamak (decoration for offerings). Mokoh only had three years of education at the People's School (SR), equivalent to elementary school. Mokoh began to study drawing when he was about 15. However, his desire to become a painter had troubled his heart since childhood. Unfortunately, his father strongly opposed his desire to become a painter and rather wanted him to work in the fields, husbanding ducks and cows. For his father, painting was just a waste of time and didn’t generate any income. However the teenage Mokoh had plenty of initiative. Though he was busy working in the rice fields, he often managed to find time to play at the home of his uncles, I Gusti Ketut Kobot and I Gusti Made Baret. He loved watching and admiring them while they were painting and he also learned a lot of traditional art techniques from them: such as sketching, colour blocking, shading, highlighting, and gradation.*Mokoh later met Rudolf Bonnet (1895-1978), a Dutch painter who had lived in Ubud since 1929. Bonnet was one of the initiators and founders of Pita Maha (1936) and the Ubud Painters’ Group (1951). Mokoh was keen to show Bonnet the drawings and paintings that he had learned to create from his uncles.Bonnet taught Mokoh the principles of modern painting. These included techniques for color recognition, mixing colors, composition, discovering one’s own creativity, as well the principle of freedom in painting. Bonnet always suggested that Mokoh search for his own creativity rather than follow in the footsteps of Kobot and Beret who focused on traditional themes. As a result of this contact with Bonnet, Mokoh experienced enlightenment. His confidence grew. He began to realize that good paintings did not have to have Ramayana and Mahabarata themes with complicated compositions filling the image area. Mokoh felt that the purpose of such paintings was to disguise the lack of ability of the painter to work on images. For Mokoh, good paintings can also be based on objects around the painter, or created based on fantasy and imagination, with simple coloring techniques and image processing. A painter must dare to paint with different styles and objects, must dare to explore new possibilities. Over time, the themes of Mokoh’s paintings became quite diverse. He painted about everyday life, flora and fauna, folklore, the world of children, fantasy, erotica, or simple things that attracted his attention.In the context of art in Bali, Mokoh is an anomaly. By studying with Kobot and Baret, he was born into the realm of traditional painting. However, the advice of Bonnet and his friendship with Mondo opened his horizons to further develop himself in the thinking of modern art. Personal character is very strong in Mokoh's paintings which are often considered eccentric. He was not interested in painting the decorative things that usually appeared in traditional painting. However, with gentle strokes, he swooped straight onto on the subject matter that he portrayed through humorous, innocent, and often surprising narratives. Mokoh has broken through the Pengosekan or traditional style of painting that tends to be static and patterned. Using this ability with traditional painting techniques, he processed ideas and themes that were modern or even contemporary on his canvases.

Luh Gede Gita Sangita Yasa + (Emerging female Balinese contemporary pain … Emerging female Balinese contemporary painter Luh Gede Gita Sangita Yasa has seemingly materialised from anonymity and appeared on the Bali art scene. After five years living in West Java, studying fine art at the Institute of Technology Bandung, she returned in 2020 to live in Batubulan, Bali. However, media exposure in international magazines and exhibitions in Java and Singapore preceded her. In 2021, her presence had become more “localised” by exhibiting in Bali. Refreshing and powerful suggestive Luh’De’s pictures captivate and reveal a fascinating lens upon life.Vibrant, yet unusual mindscapes depict alternative realities: Luh’De expresses a Gen-Z experience of dwelling in both the digital and natural worlds. As the first generation having grown up with immediate Internet and mobile digital technology access, members of Gen-Z are dubbed “digital natives”. Luh’De’s sensitivity pieces together seemingly unrelated, contrasting imagery into balanced compositions introducing the audience to fresh narrative realms she refers to as “fragments of memories”.For most people, the concept of existing simultaneously in parallel universes may be too abstract to process. Not for Luh’De. Curiosity infused with ingenuity is harnessed into images of the past, present and future which are unique within the Indonesian contemporary art world. Light years beyond the conventional Balinese painter, Luh’De never references traditional icons, narratives and techniques. Instead, she boldly investigates her potential and intuitive trajectory.Merging Pop Art, abstract and semi-realism styles often with a minimalist sense of space, blank areas on the canvas create interludes that allow us to pause and think. The outcomes are contemplative and uber-chic. Luh’De is the first Balinese woman artist to establish an identity upon such a compelling aesthetic formula.“My creative process begins by sourcing images from the Internet, screenshots from the online simulation game The Sims and other images I have collected. I then photoshop combinations into compositions I call ‘happy incidents’,” said Luh’De, who was born in Bali in July 1997 and worked briefly as a graphic designer. “At university I found myself working best in oil paints. I like that it takes around 8 hours for the paint to dry giving me time to manipulate my compositions into shape. This process helps me understand more about what I’m going through. I’ll connect everything, asking myself why this is here? This is where my instincts draw connections and make assumptions. The results are impossible to preconceive and often without meaning or explanation.” One of the greatest challenges for Balinese artist’s is to grow and to introduce change. Some settle on a formula which sells and then remain in a comfort zone, yet creatively stagnant. Others lack courage to break free and experiment and over time new horizons become increasingly difficult to achieve. Luh’De is a driven artist, whose work has technically and thematically evolved. From 2016-2018 she worked developing ideas and arranging different components to uncover a functional formula. During 2019-2020 she explored ‘PARADISO: On Fragments of Times’, a series inspired by beach scenes and people at leisure. “I grew tired of painting figures and beach themes. There was nothing more to dig and it was time to move on,” she told me. In 2020 Luh’De was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder and temporarily stopped painting. “When I began painting again, my old subject matter – the Paradiso Series– no longer represented me. I developed a liking towards sweets to help stabilise my moods, and I spent more time playing Sims as a form of escapism. I created a new ‘ideal’ personal painting reality I called my Sweet and Sour Series,” said Luh’De who was nominated in 2021 as a Finalist UOB Indonesian Painting of the Year – Established Artist Category.Richard HorstmanNOW Balirtist Category.

Cat Wheeler + (From Cat's website: "I first visited Bali … From Cat's website:"I first visited Bali at the age of 18 in 1969. The memories never left me in subsequent decades but I never thought I’d return in 2000 to spend the rest of my life here.Living in Ubud is much more multi-dimensional than visiting as a traveller. After ten years in sterile Singapore, I was unprepared for rodents in the roof and reptiles on the bedroom walls. I had to learn to navigate the ever-changing rules of Indonesia’s Byzantine immigration bureaucracy. The new language held many entertaining pitfalls. The Balinese people, especially the family that would become my own, were a window to the rich, deep, baffling culture that surrounds me.Shortly after moving here I offered to write a regular column for the only English language newspaper at the time, the Bali Advertiser. This opened many doors; it gave me an excuse to contact all the most interesting people on the island and ask impertinent questions about what they were doing in Bali. From over 18 years of bimonthly articles I’ve published two books."onthly articles I’ve published two books.")
