The priest, poet or author walks along the mountains and coasts to express his visual beauty in the form of literary works as a form of glorification of the Creator.This is what became the inspiration for the establishment of SAGARAGIRI Outdoor. Glorifying nature is one of the ways that Balinese predecessors used to enjoy life, even as a spiritual practice.

PIKOBET SANE KAWETUANG OLIH ALIH FUNGSI LAHAN MAJENG RING KAURIPAN KRAMA BALI + (IMPACTS CAUSED BY LAND USE CHANGE ON THE S … IMPACTS CAUSED BY LAND USE CHANGE ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF BALINESE COMMUNITIESOm Swastyastu Honorable judging team, as well as beloved friends, let us first offer our prayers and gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa for His blessings, allowing us to gather here for the Wikhiton Public Participation event, Bali Orates. On this auspicious occasion, allow me to deliver a speech titled “Issues Arising from Land Use Change in the Life of the Balinese Community.” Ladies and gentlemen, land use change refers to a shift in the function of land from its previous purpose. Land use change in the Bali region has become increasingly prevalent lately, marked by phenomena such as the reduction of productive agricultural land. Indonesia is an agrarian country, and a significant portion of its population works as farmers. What will happen if agricultural land, the source of basic necessities for the Balinese people, continues to be converted into residential areas, coupled with an influx of newcomers requiring them to build dwellings? Another observable phenomenon is the decrease in water catchment areas. Soil is a powerful rainwater absorber. If land with soil is converted into housing, buildings using concrete and paving will indirectly reduce water catchment areas. This becomes hazardous when the rainy season arrives, and the increased use of concrete and paving reduces water catchment areas, leading to higher water volumes and flooding in certain areas. In the last rainy season in Bali, there were numerous flood disasters that resulted in residents losing their homes. Such events will undoubtedly have a negative impact on sustainability, as if left unchecked, the relatively small island of Bali, combined with the increasing trend of land use change, can cause discomfort in the surrounding environment, a decline in food productivity, global warming, and many other terrifying consequences of land use change. Based on these issues, I hope that the future leaders in 2024 can provide solutions to address the escalating land use change. Bali’s leaders are expected to be faithful custodians, safeguarding the land of Bali and enacting regulations that prioritize and champion the land, customs, and culture of Bali. To all my friends, let us protect the land of Bali from the dangers of land use change so that Bali’s land remains sustainable. That is all I can convey; I apologize for any shortcomings. I conclude with Parama Santhi, Om Santhi, Santhi Om. with Parama Santhi, Om Santhi, Santhi Om.)
Ngelawan Gelombang: Tantangan Banjir ring Kabupaten Badung + (In Bali Province, as in many other tropica … In Bali Province, as in many other tropical regions, floods have become a serious issue that often disrupts the daily lives of residents. One of these areas, Badung Regency, faces similar problems, and several solutions can be proposed to address them. Firstly, the construction of a better drainage system is an important step in flood mitigation. Efficient drainage can help facilitate the flow of rainwater and prevent waterlogging on roads and residential areas. Regular cleaning and maintenance are also necessary to keep the drainage system functioning optimally.Furthermore, vegetation planting and land rehabilitation can be long-term solutions to strengthen soil absorption capacity. By increasing vegetation such as trees and shrubs, rainwater can be more easily absorbed by the soil, reducing the risk of erosion. Afforestation and restoration programs can help improve the ecosystem and reduce the risk of future floods. Additionally, better spatial planning is key to preventing floods. Local governments need to ensure that development takes into account environmental aspects and flood risk potentials. Mapping flood-prone areas and controlling development in those areas can reduce vulnerability to floods.Increasing public awareness is also crucial in efforts to address floods. Through education and campaigns, residents can be informed about the importance of environmental conservation and eco-friendly behaviors, such as proper waste disposal and vegetation preservation. The more people involved in environmental conservation, the lower the risk of floods. Moreover, technology can be an effective tool in flood anticipation. Early warning systems connected to weather monitoring can provide quick and accurate information about potential floods, enabling early evacuation and other mitigation measures.Furthermore, the use of technology in drainage management and flood control can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these efforts. With a combination of various solutions, it is hoped that the flood risk in Badung Regency can be reduced. It is important for the government, the community, and other stakeholders to collaborate in implementing these solutions to create a safer and more sustainable environment for everyone.more sustainable environment for everyone.)
Solusi dari penumpukan sampah yang tidak terpilah di Denpasar + (In daily life, there is a disposal process … In daily life, there is a disposal process involving materials such as leftover food that becomes waste. Waste is the residue of human daily activities and/or natural processes that is solid in form. Waste often refers to unwanted or unbeneficial residual materials for humans.Denpasar, as one of the leading tourist cities in Bali, faces a serious challenge in managing waste accumulation. With the increasing number of residents and tourists each year, this problem becomes increasingly urgent to address. However, amidst this challenge, there is a glimmer of hope through the Zero Waste initiative carried out by SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar.Waste accumulation in Denpasar has become a primary concern for the local government and community. Amidst its natural beauty, waste piles can damage the environment and disrupt tourism. However, SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar has taken proactive steps by introducing the Zero Waste concept to its students.Zero Waste is a lifestyle philosophy aimed at reducing, reusing, and recycling all produced waste, so that nothing is disposed of in landfills. This initiative has changed students' perceptions of waste, from something to be discarded to a resource that can be reused.One of the activities carried out in the Zero Waste program at SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar is the management of organic waste. Students learn to compost organic waste into fertilizer, which is then used to produce green plants in the school environment. Thus, not only reducing the amount of waste entering landfills, but also producing positive benefits for the environment.Additionally, the school encourages students to use eco-friendly products and reduce the use of single-use plastics. They practice using tumblers and cloth shopping bags as alternatives to plastic bottles and plastic shopping bags. These small steps have a significant impact on reducing the amount of plastic waste polluting the environment.Moreover, SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar is also active in environmental cleanup campaigns. Students participate in activities cleaning beaches, rivers, and other public areas as part of their social responsibility. They not only clean up existing waste but also raise awareness among the community about the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness.The Zero Waste initiative from SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar not only helps reduce waste accumulation in Denpasar but also serves as an inspirational example for other schools across Indonesia. By educating the younger generation about the importance of the environment, we can ensure a more sustainable future.Through collaboration between the government, community, and educational institutions like SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar, we can achieve the dream of having a clean and sustainable Denpasar. Every small step has a significant impact in our fight against waste accumulation and preserving the beauty of nature for future generations.e beauty of nature for future generations.)
"BUDI DAYA MAGGOT ANGGEN NEPASIN PIKOBET LUU RING KOTA DENPASAR" + (In Denpasar City, which is the capital, go … In Denpasar City, which is the capital, government and economic center of Bali Province, I see that flooding is the main problem in this city. It is not surprising that one hundred tons of waste is collected in Denpasar City every day. This is very dangerous if you don't pay attention, because it can make the damaged area worse. As a result, many other problems arise in the city of Denpasar because of this disease.This problem cannot be left to the government alone, but the active role of society is needed. There are many ways that can be done to overcome the problem of blindness, one of which is by increasing public awareness of the importance of the problem of blindness. As a student, even in high school I was still taught by teachers to always care about the environment through the P5 program implemented at school. Through this program I think that this stupid problem can be solved by cultivating Magot. "Maggot Power Culture to Overcome the Lice Problem in Denpasar City" The City Government has helped overcome this flea problem with advanced technology, every citizen can help the government in this flea problem by cultivating maggots because maggot cultivation can break down organic waste into fertilizer or in Bali is often called nyanyad. Maggots come from Black Soldier Fly (BSF) flies, cultivation only uses board/wooden cages that have gaps and are covered with cloth, a small space to press maggot eggs and a rack for maggot growth, in the maggot growth process, it is placed in a place exposed to light. sun.Organic waste such as nut shells, fruit remains and grass in the garden can be placed in this place. Magot to break down organic waste or dirt into fertilizer or manure. 1 Kg of Maggot can decompose 4 Kg of organic waste or rubbish every two days. If every city resident had 1 kg of fat, there would be no more organic waste in this city. The remaining plastic waste must be handed over to the government which has sophisticated equipment for recycling. The following are the benefits of maggot cultivation: 1. Reduce the volume of waste in landfill because organic waste is used to feed maggots 2. Maggot fruit can be used as animal feed which contains high protein because maggots consume organic waste such as vegetables and fruit 3. Maggots which can dispose of waste will produce Kasgot (Maggot Residue) which can be used as organic fertilizerMaggot cultivation is very profitable for the environment and maggot caretakers, because apart from being able to grow organic waste, fertilizer and maggot waste can be used or sold at a higher price, it can be said that maggot cultivation is easier and has a higher functional value. easier and has a higher functional value.)

As we know, Bali is a charming tourist paradise, but unfortunately, there are several problems that arise along with the increase in visits by foreign tourists to this island.First of all, we cannot close our eyes to the social and cultural impacts caused by the presence of foreigners in Bali. Sometimes, there is a misunderstanding between foreign tourists and local people regarding the cultural norms that apply here. Several incidents such as the use of clothing that is considered inappropriate, the large number of foreign tourists who do not respect Balinese culture or behavior that is not in accordance with Balinese customs and traditions often cause tension between the two parties, therefore, as Balinese leaders who care about the future The future of this island needs to look at this problem further, both among local communities and foreign tourists, regarding the importance of maintaining social, economic and environmental harmony. Let's invite foreign tourists to better understand and respect local culture, and contribute to sustainable development that involves all levels of society.By working together to solve this problem, we can maintain the beauty of Bali not only as a tourist destination, but also as a home for all of us.

“Ngulah Pati Boya Ja Melananin Diri” + (In this beautiful moment, we will deliver … In this beautiful moment, we will deliver our oration with the title of "Ngulah Pati Boya Ja Melananin Diri". Before we deliver our oration, let us offer thanksgiving to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa with Om Swastiastu. In recent years, the cases of suicide in Indonesia has become increasingly worrying. Indonesia, as a country that adheres to a collectivistic culture, also has a fairly high number of suicide cases. WHO estimates that in 2020 the suicide rate in Indonesia could reach 2.4 percent of 100,000 people if it does not receive serious attention from various parties. Bali Province is one of the provinces in Indonesia that has a fairly high number of suicide cases. Most suicide cases in Bali are committed by teenagers in young adulthood. One of the factors that influences the emergence of behavior, including suicidal behavior and suicide attempts, is self-concept. Self-concept is an individual's perception of himself, his perception of his social environment, and his perception of other people's views of him. Apart from that, the environment where you live also has a big influence on a person's mental health. If someone is in a positive environment, of course their mental health will be better maintained. However, if someone is in a bad environment, it can have a negative impact on that person's mental health. One of them is that it can cause suicidal thoughts. Therefore, suicide cases really need attention from the public so that they understand and are more open about mental health for teenagers. But unfortunately, suicide cases are often underestimated by most of society. People think that mental health is not important to pay attention to. In fact, someone who has mental health problems really needs the attention of the people around them to continue to receive encouragement and attention. With all the existing problems, attention and encouragement are needed from the community and government in dealing with suicide cases in Bali.In an effort to overcome these cases, the government can optimize mental health screening by providing outreach to the public to create awareness of the importance of mental health for humans, especially teenagers. Apart from that, society and the government can also build an anti-suicide community for teenagers to minimize the existing death rate and teenagers can also express the feelings they have. By adopting this solution, it is hoped that society and the government will become more aware of the importance of mental health. In this way, it is hoped that society can build a positive environment so that the death rate caused by suicide cases will decrease. Let's care about the importance of mental health!

Her research explores the flow of ideas and artifacts along this highway -- architecture, bronzes, textiles, ceramics, performance traditions, and visualizations of texts like Panji Malat, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata -- artifacts that move and those that are locally produced. This accounts for the shaping of ideas and the development of styles across vast geographical and historical distances. Her work is governed by the complex ways in which History of Art and Visual Studies intersect with Anthropology, Material Culture, Colonial and Post-colonial Theory, Performance, Gender and Religious Studies.Having first begun her study of Balinese performing arts as an undergraduate at Wesleyan University, one ongoing project has involved documenting the work of painters in Bali who experiment with depicting musical sound and the rhythmic motion of the dance in their work.

His unique ability to convey action and emotion in a rich and imaginative composition brings the traditional to life for modern audiences, Western and Balinese alike.Originally from Pengosekan, a small community near Ubud, Madra moved to nearby Peliatan as a young man in the late 1950s to work as a painter for the art dealer Wayan Gedah. At that time he also began studying with Tjokorda Oka Gambir, and learned the techniques and conventions of traditional wayang painting, including the specific colors, iconography, and costume for scores of characters.Madra started painting exclusively wayang narratives in the early 1960s, and soon developed a reputation as a skillful and original artist. He works with deliberation, and sells work directly from his studio to people who find him, usually through word-of-mouth. Occasionally, trusted local dealers with galleries catering to serious collectors also buy his work.In 1974, Madra’s work was shown in international exhibitions in the UK and the USA for the first time. In the same year he completed the first bungalow of what would become the Ketut Madra Homestay on his property in Peliatan. Over the next 15 years, he gradually expanded the accommodations for students, travelers, musicians, and artists interested in “a quiet place to learn about Bali.” The homestay has been a central feature in the life of Madra and his family, and has introduced three generations of visitors to his work and to traditional Balinese arts and culture.At the age of 41, having focused up to that point on work and the homestay, Madra needed something more. Nyoman Kakul, a preeminent dancer of Batuan village who admired Madra’s understanding of the stories told in Balinese dance drama, urged him to learn to perform. More than 30 years later than most Balinese dancers take their first lessons, Madra learned the role of topeng keras, the rough prime minister in the king’s court. He continues to dance more than 30 years later, playing a variety of roles for which he is highly regarded.Madra also learned as an adult to play the rebab, the two-stringed bowed lute in the gamelan ensemble. He dances and plays regularly with the Tirta Sari gamelan group in Peliatan. Dance, Madra says, is a near perfect complement to his life as a painter.
