  • Reinventing Bali Tourism - A Vision of Creativity, Education and Entrepreneurship  + (Original article printed in BALI!Now The Original article printed in BALI!Now</br></br>The rebranding and reconfiguration of the Bali tourism industry from Desa Wisata to Desa Kreatif (tourism village to creative village) is essential. Tourism products shift from vacation leisure activities to learning and innovation experiences up-skilling people as entrepreneurs within the 21st-century global creative economy. </br></br>Demographics have changed from the leisure-focused baby boomers to the X, Y, Z, and millennial generations who tend to be orientated towards creative and entrepreneurial adventures.

  • Memargi Sareng-sareng, Prajaya Gunungan Leluu Nuju Bali Resik Riwekas  + (Stepping Together, Conquering the MountainStepping Together, Conquering the Mountains of Waste towards a Sustainable Clean Bali</br></br>Om Swastyastu</br></br>Thank you for the opportunity that has been given to me so that I can contribute to voicing aspirations at the Wikithon Oration.</br>Dear the jury and the BASAbali Wiki team, as well as all the happy readers</br></br>As we know, soon we will be faced with the 2024 elections. Elections are an important moment in our democracy. This is not only about choosing leaders, but also us giving them the mandate to overcome various problems facing society. Answering the topic raised in this oration is "What is the most urgent problem to be addressed by Bali's prospective leaders?".</br></br>First of all, we cannot ignore environmental problems, especially since Bali is known as Paradise Island because of its natural beauty. There is one thing that in my opinion really needs serious attention from potential Balinese leaders, namely the waste problem which will soon be over. Bali faces big challenges in waste management because the system is inefficient so it is unable to handle large volumes of waste. This situation was further exacerbated by fires that occurred at the Sarbagita Suwung Regional Landfill in Denpasar City, the Mandung Landfill in Tabanan Regency, and the Temesi Landfill in Gianyar Regency during the dry season, causing environmental damage and negative impacts on daily air quality. This problem is not only a local issue, but also an urgent reminder for us to take action because it impacts many aspects of people's lives. Therefore, the government's presence plays an important role in handling this case.</br></br>I am sure that so far the government has always tried its best, but Bali's leaders must then improve and re-examine the preparation of a strategy for handling potential waste that can be investigated from the roots to the end. It is important to note that the success of a waste management program is very dependent on existing infrastructure and technology. If waste management plants, landfills, or recycling facilities are inadequate, then the program may not produce the expected results. The success of the waste management program is also closely related to the level of community participation. If there is not enough awareness or support from the public in waste scanning, recycling, or waste reduction, the program may experience difficulties. Apart from that, policies that are inappropriate or unable to overcome the waste problem can become an obstacle. Sometimes, unsupportive policies or weak implementation can hinder program effectiveness. </br></br>Prospective Balinese leaders must have a clear vision about how to protect and preserve Bali's environment for future generations. Prospective leaders, Bali must have a concrete action plan that involves economic, social and environmental aspects. A thorough evaluation of the waste management program needs to be carried out to identify core problems and adjust the strategies implemented. Close collaboration with various parties is the key to creating holistic solutions. Senuma's active involvement, parties, including the government, private sector and the community, will ensure environmental sustainability in Bali for future generations. No less important, awareness of the importance of recycling and reducing waste needs to be instilled more deeply,</br></br>Thank you to Mrs/Mr. Candidate Leader, Bali for your attention and cooperation to make Bali clean from mountains of rubbish. Let us all work together to be agents of change for a clean Bali.</br></br>Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Omclean Bali. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om)

  • CHEF DAIJIRO HORIKOSHI  + (TAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a masteTAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a master artisan who has devoted his life to perfecting Kaiseki cuisine.</br></br>Chef Daijiro San … with respect you don’t sound like any ‘normal’ kind of Chef to us … what’s your story and how did you end up in Bali? Did you train in a Japanese kitchen, and did it involve years of internship under a Master?</br></br>I am the son of the third generation of a tempura restaurant located in Osaka. The restaurant had a 62-year history before it closed. My grandmother started the restaurant, and my mom took over before I eventually took over from her. I ran the restaurant for over 16 years, and in 2012, I moved to Bali. When I was 13 years old, I had the opportunity to travel with my stepfather, who was a Native American leader from the United States named Dennis Banks. We travelled to 23 countries around the world, and this experience exposed me to different cultures, religions, and people. When I decided to move to Bali, it was because my wife had a dream of living on a tropical island. We wanted our children to have a global experience and learn English, so we chose Bali as it offered a mix of different cultures. It was the perfect balance for us, and we couldn’t find it anywhere else in the world.</br></br>Tell us first about KOHAKU, and your journey to making edible crystals…</br></br>Although I don’t have a pastry background, I grew up in a traditional Japanese environment due to my grandmother’s influence. She was a geisha and introduced me to various aspects of Japanese art, tradition, and confections. When I moved to Bali, I missed Japanese sweets, as they were not readily available, so I started making Japanese confections on my own. I never thought about turning it into a business until a friend suggested it. Together with another friend, we started the business, and my wife encouraged me to pursue it further. That’s how our Japanese confection brand, KOHAKU, came to be.</br></br>How does this relate to cuisine in Japan?</br></br>Kohakuto, which means ‘amber sugar’ in Japanese, has a connection to Japanese tea ceremonies. Japanese confectionery has always been closely associated with tea and tea ceremonies. The tea ceremony involves not only tea but also meals, and it holds a deep relationship with Japanese cuisine.</br></br>There are two types of kaiseki, one for parties and the other for tea ceremonies. Both have a connection with tea and confections. So, the idea of creating edible crystals relates to the long-standing tradition of Japanese traditions.</br></br>Why does Japanese cuisine appear so different and innovative to Westerners, compared to more traditional styles, like say classic French, or Italian? Should the Old School be more innovative?</br></br>I don’t see a big difference between Japanese cuisine and other traditional styles like French or Italian. Each cuisine reflects its own history, culture, and region. I don’t think one is more innovative than the other. It’s difficult to answer whether the old school should be more innovative because innovation is subjective. What may seem innovative today might become traditional in the future. As chefs, we are always learning and trying to create dishes that make people happy. We focus on making something good rather than just being innovative. Our job is an ongoing journey of learning and creating.</br></br>Where does innovation go too far, and when should we recognize and respect classic cooking practices?</br></br>From my perspective, innovation goes too far when it becomes disconnected from our everyday lives and focuses solely on being different for the sake of standing out. Some chefs get caught up in trying to show how they are different from others, losing sight of the true essence of cooking. It’s like we lose our direction and wander aimlessly. Whether it’s in cooking or any aspect of life, we need to take a moment to pause, reflect on where we stand, and look back at our past and the processes that brought us here. It’s essential to respect the ingredients we use and show appreciation to everyone involved, not just for the sake of being different.</br></br>Tell us about Takumi, your restaurant, and the inspiration behind it.</br></br>Takumi is a restaurant where we currently serve Kaiseki-style Japanese cuisine. We offer a choice of nine-course or six-course degustation menus, and we will soon be launching vegan courses as well. Our focus is on traditional and authentic Japanese cuisine. The inspiration behind Takumi is unique. We are not simply importing Japan to Bali; instead, we are creating Japan here. We utilize the amazing local ingredients available in Bali and Indonesia, embracing the wealth of flavours they offer. As a Japanese chef, I incorporate Japanese culinary techniques and strive to express the true essence of Japanese cuisine. Additionally, I am passionate about training young chefs in Bali, sharing my knowledge, skills, and the history and philosophy of Japanese cuisine, in order to elevate the level of Japanese culinary expertise in the region.</br></br>Why is great service such an important part of the culinary experience?</br></br>Great service is crucial because it enhances the overall dining experience. When customers pay a significant amount for their meals, they should be able to enjoy them fully. It’s important to create an atmosphere where people can feel happy and comfortable. The emotions and atmosphere in a restaurant can significantly impact the perception of the food. Service acts as an additional spice that complements the dishes coming out of the kitchen. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the complete experience – from the moment guests enter the restaurant until they leave. We aim to leave a lasting memory and ensure that our guests have a truly enjoyable time at our restaurant.</br></br>Who are your heroes in the world of cooking?</br></br>Although it may sound cliché, my heroes in the world of cooking are my grandmother and my mother. However, my true heroes are the young chefs working in the Takumi kitchen. Each of them brings their unique experiences, which I have never had. Their willingness to learn and their different perspectives make them admirable and worthy of respect. These young chefs are my heroes because they challenge themselves and strive to become respected in the culinary industry.</br></br>What knives do you use?</br></br>I primarily use a small petty knife. I don’t have a specific brand preference. I own several Japanese knives, but my favourite is the small petty knife, which I use for personal use at home. I don’t typically use large knives in my cooking.</br></br>What’s the most exciting new ingredient you are incorporating into your food?</br></br>Well, every week brings new and exciting ingredients to our kitchen, even if they are the same vegetables we’ve used before. Each batch has its own unique qualities, and that’s what makes it thrilling. We have conversations with the ingredients, exploring their potential and listening to what they have to say. When they arrive in the kitchen, we greet them and get to know them. ‘Hello, my name is blah blah blah, who are you?’ We might say to a red radish. It’s a delightful way to engage with the ingredients and understand their desires. Do they want to be a sauce, a garnish, or simply shine on their own? We listen to their aspirations and help them become what they want to be. It’s the chef’s job, and it’s the most enjoyable and exciting aspect of our work.</br></br>What motto inspires your life as a chef?</br></br>Well, I’ve touched on this in previous answers, but it’s a question worth pondering. As a chef, I find immense joy and satisfaction in working with ingredients and creating dishes. It’s the happiness and fun that come from this process. There are many people involved in the culinary world, from suppliers to farmers, fisherman, and even drivers. My motto is simple: I want to make people happy. I strive to bring joy to others through my creations and my work. It’s not just about the guests; it’s about everyone who is connected to food and to me. I want to contribute to a collective happiness and create a positive impact within this circle. As a chef, I am just one part of a larger ecosystem, and my goal is to make everyone in this circle happy.</br></br>IG & FB: @kohakubali</br></br>www.kohakubali.com</br></br>IG: @takumibali</br></br>FB: @Takumi Bali</br></br>www.takumibali.comkumibali FB: @Takumi Bali www.takumibali.com)
  • Dadalan Sejarah Wangunan Monumen Perjuangan Rakyat Bali  + (THE BACKGROUND OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THETHE BACKGROUND OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MONUMENT OF BALINESE STRUGGLE</br>Sporadic struggles for independence against the Dutch Colonial Government emerged in most parts of Indonesia. The violent oppressions by the Dutch resulted many rebellions in various dominions of kingdoms and sultanates under the Dutch colonialism. But unfortunately, the Dutch could easily suppress them by applying their divide et impera (divide and rule) tactic to break the strength of those kingdoms and sultanates by playing off against each other, between a king and the other, between the royal family and the king, the king and his people, and between people as well.</br>The long war experiences and also the more and more Indonesian youth got academic education had aroused the spirit of unity among various social strata and ethnic groups and the awareness to defend their country and to drive away the colonizers. It was initiated by a number of intellectual youths from various regions that on October 28th, 1928, for the firsttime, the Indonesian youth held a conference in which they declared the so called the Sumpah Pemuda or the Youth Pledge. They swore that they were of one mother country: Indonesia, one nationality: Indonesian, and of one language: Bahasa Indonesia or the Indonesian language. This declaration was simultaneously participated by many youth organizations from various islands and ethnics in Indonesia such as, Jong Java of Central and East Java, Jong Pasundan of West Java, Jong Minahasa of North Sulawesi, Jong Ambon of Maluku, Jong Celebes of Sulawesi, Jong Madura, Jong Sumatranen, Jong Batak of Batak ethnic group, etc which later on resulted an idea to form the Jong Indonesia to accomodate all ethnics in Indonesia.</br>This spirit of Sumpah Pemuda has also awakened various youth organizations in Indonesia.One well-known organization, among others, is Sarekat Islam, which was originally as a mere religious movement, then developed into the first popular movement in Indonesia, then the Indische Partij party which also moved in politics. At that time on the island of Java nationalist figures emerged such as dr. Soetomo, HOS. Cokroaminoto, Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hadjar Dewantoro), Douwes Dekker, Tjipto Mangunkusumo, Agus Salim, Soekarno, Muhammad Hatta, and so on. Their pioneering work eventually also inspired other regions to do the same, namely to unite the regions in expelling the Dutch occupation, one of which was a struggle carried out by the Balinese people.</br>Bali Island is one of the bases of the struggle against the Dutch, among which the famous is the Jagaraga War of 1848-1849 in Buleleng, the Kusamba War of 1849, the Banjar People’s Resstance in 1868, the Puputan Badung War of 1906 launched by the King of Badung, Puputan Klungkung in 1908 and also the Puputan Margarana War in the Marga Village of Tabanan conducted by Liutenant Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai along with Laskar Ciung Wanara who had waged in all-out war (Puputan) against the Dutch in 1946.</br>The struggle performed by I Gusti Ngurah Rai has left deep memories for the people of Bali, so as to commemorate his services, a monument, street name, airport name, and so on were erected. The awarding of his services is solely because he has set an example to the younger generation in the struggle for independence which is done unconditionally. The government’s attention to the services of the fighters in Bali was realized by the construction of a grand monument located in the Niti Mandala area, Denpasar known as the the Monument of Balinese Struggle.</br>What is presented in this monument is to recall all the struggles of the Balinese heroes before and after independence. It is also hoped that this monument will also has some benefit in an effort to increase the appreciation of the younger generation in living up to the patriotic values demonstrated by the heroes who sacrifice all his body and soul in defending the dignity of his people without ever expecting retribution.</br>The monument was designed by Mr. Ida Bagus Gede Yadnya, a young man who was at that time was a student in the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, Denpasar. He succeeded in winning and becoming a champion in the design competition of the the Monument of Balinese Struggle which was carried out in 1981 by setting aside his senior architects in Bali.</br>After the design and drawing improvements were made, in August 1988 through the budget of the Provincial Government of Bali a groundbreaking was carried out, as a sign of the start of the construction of the monument. After going through various obstacles and trials due to the depreciation of the Rupiah in 1997, finally this monument could be completed also in 2001. After that, the development was continued with the making of dioramas that depicted the life history of the Balinese from time to time. In addition to the dioramas, a park was also built to add the beauty and comfort of this monument, which as a whole could be completed in 2003. On June 14, 2003, in conjunction with the Opening of the 25th Bali Arts Festival in 2003, Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri had the pleasure of inaugurating the Monument of Balinese Struggle. Since then the monument has been officially opened for public.</br>PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES</br>The purpose of making dioramas that tells a story of the struggle of the Balinese people is to reconstruct important historical events that have occured in Bali, so that what is implied in them will be more easily appreciated by younger generation.</br>The aim is to perpetuate the spirit of the struggle of the Balinese people from time to time and pass down the spirit of patriotism in the form of self-sacrifice, love of the motherland, love of unity and love of peace, togetherness to the next generation of the nation, and the main thing is to maintain the integrity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia (Homeland).</br>THE PHILOSOPHICAL BASIC OF THE MONUMENT OF BALINESE STRUGGLE</br>This monument is an embodiment of lingga and yoni. Lingga is male symbol (purusa), while yoni is female symbol (pradana). The meeting between the two elements is a symbol of fertility and well-being. In addition to the Lingga-Yoni philosophy, this monument is also based on the philosophy of the Mandara mountain screening (Mandara Giri) in ocean of milk (Ksirarnawa). This story comes from the Adi Parwa book, the first chapter (parwa) of the Mahabarata epic. It is said that the gods and giants (daitya) sought the water of eternal life (tirtha amertha) by turning around Mandara mountain in the ocean of milk. The implementation of the screening of mount Mandara is regulated as follows:</br>1. Turtles (akupa) as the base of mount Mandara</br>2. Besuki Dragon (Naga Besuki) as a strap and turning mount.</br>3. The gods hold the dragon’s tail and the daitya hold the head, while at the top of the mountain sits God Shiva.</br>After working with great difficulty turning the Mandara mountain then successively came out: crescent (Ardha Chandra), Goddess Sri and Laksmi, flying horse (kuda Ucaisrawah), tree of happiness (Kastuba Mani), and the last came out Goddess Dhanwantari who brought Tirta Amertha. The story of searching for Amertha water is then reflected in the shape of this monument, with the following explanation:</br>1. The earthen pitcher containing tirta amertha was symbolized by a kind of pot (swamba), which is located on the top of the monument.</br>2. Naga Besuki’s tail is realized near the pot.</br>3. The head of the dragon is manifested in the entrance gate (Kori Agung).</br>4. Turtle (Bedawang Nala/ akupa) as the foundation of the monument is located on the edge of the lake and its head on Kori Agung.</br>5.

Bali, with its natural beauty, is under significant pressure due to rapid growth. Conservation of the environment and protection of natural resources are crucial to prevent further damage to the island.

In an interview with NOW! Bali when the program started, he says that he remembered how villagers used to barter in the early days, rice for sea salt, farm to sea. He said that this gave people spirit, making sure that people don’t get used to receiving without working.</br></br>Through this plastic for rice system, Janur provided a double solution: cleaning littered plastic in the environment; as well as providing much-needed sustenance to those in need, especially in rural areas.</br></br>The program started in Banjar Jangkahan and Banjar Penulisan, Batuaji Village, Tabanan, the regency where Janur comes from.

Talking about the land environment that has been converted into a tourist spot, of course there are many daily activities carried out to produce plastic waste for society, this is what will become Bali's next problem. The existence of rubbish in Bali is very sad and gets very little attention, this is what creates big dangers, for example: floods, dengue fever and others. Moreover, as has recently been reported, the rubbish bins or Suwung landfills in Bali are very full and cause fires, giving rise to smoke pollution which causes disease.

Most Trans Metro Dewata buses are currently empty without carrying passengers. Most people are reluctant to use public transportation because the stopping points are limited and far away, so it requires more effort to reach them.

Waste is the residual material generated from a domestic or industrial production process that has negative consequences and impacts on the environment. </br></br>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.</br></br>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.

  • DENPASAR SAYAN KOSEKAN  + (Denpasar is the capital of the province ofDenpasar 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.</br> 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 increasing</br></br>Spatial 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.</br></br> 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.</br></br> 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.)
  • Pikobet luu lan kresikan pelemahan Bali  + (Garbage and cleanliness problems in Bali hGarbage and cleanliness problems in Bali have often become the main complaints of tourists on our Island of the Gods. The same thing that impressed me when I was in Bali was the amount of rubbish in famous tourist spots in Bali, such as the area around Dreamland Beach, the streets around the Bedugul tourist area, and in the temple tourist areas in Bali.</br></br> It is very interesting that apart from the plastic waste that is still strewn about in Bali, there is also a lot of rubbish left over from prayers, which when I was in Bali, the Balinese rama people were in activities to welcome Galungan and Kuningan. For Balinese krama people, this may be a common thing, because after the ceremony there is usually a cleaning carried out by staff from the local government.</br></br> However, it is important to remember that many tourists, both foreign and domestic, are still not used to seeing our habit of 'dirtying' tourist attractions after performing prayers and traditional ceremonies. Unlike in Indonesia, abroad there are no special officers who clean streets and public places. It would be nice if we kept the environment clean without having to depend on street cleaners.</br></br> Overcoming the problem of waste and environmental cleanliness can be done by getting us into the habit of cleaning the surrounding home environment. Don't be embarrassed to invite our friends together to clean tourist areas in Bali. The cleaner Bali is, the more our confidence will increase in promoting Bali as the best tourist destination in the world, which of course can improve the economy of the Balinese people.</br></br> Apart from that, the Balinese people must be able to reduce the amount of rubbish that is scattered around starting from individuals, whether in the form of plastic waste, the environment, or waste from prayers.</br></br> Reducing the amount of waste scattered around does not mean limiting our work that produces waste. Real steps we can take are to always throw away rubbish in the right place, not pollute the temple area by getting used to throwing away the canang and incense left over from our prayers in the rubbish bin, and getting used to picking up rubbish that is in front of us. If necessary, don't hesitate to create a charity activity with your middle school, high school and college friends to work together to clean up tourist attractions in Bali.</br></br> There is a very good example that we can emulate from the island of Okinawa - Japan, which in fact is a tourist spot whose conditions are similar to Bali. A small example is getting us into the habit of shopping using shopping bags that can be used repeatedly, in this way we will reduce the amount of plastic waste in Bali.</br></br> Think about it carefully, if we don't have Balinese culture, who else wants to maintain cleanliness and care about the waste problem in Bali? and care about the waste problem in Bali?)
  • Utsaha utawi Tata Cara Nglimbakang Kabupaten Gianyar  + (Gianyar Regency is one of the districts inGianyar Regency is one of the districts in Bali Province which is famous for its natural beauty, rich culture and huge tourism potential. However, like other regions, Glanyar Regency also has various problems that need to be addressed immediately to improve the quality of life of the community and regional development as a whole. One of the problems often experienced by the people of Gianyar Regency is the problem of poverty. Even though the tourism potential is quite large, not everyone can feel the benefits. Many people live below the poverty line and have difficulty meeting basic daily needs. Gianyar Regency also faces other problems such as a lack of adequate infrastructure, especially in rural areas. Inadequate infrastructure causes people's access to education, health and transportation to be limited. This makes it difficult for rural communities to access. To overcome this problem, local governments need to carry out various programs that can improve community welfare, such as providing social assistance, skills training, and developing the economic potential of local communities. In addition, there are infrastructure problems despite existing efforts. infrastructure development in the area, but there are still many roads or people's houses that are in a damaged condition and disrupt people's mobility.</br></br>Solutions for Sustainable City Growth</br></br>The growth of a city or district like Gianyar requires careful planning and innovative solutions to overcome the challenges faced. In responding to Gianyar's development needs, several solutions can be considered to ensure sustainable growth and improve the quality of life of its residents.</br></br>1. Infrastructure Development</br>Well-planned infrastructure development is the key to supporting economic growth and improving the quality of life of residents. This includes expanding the road network, improving public transport, providing clean water, and effective waste management. Investments in this infrastructure will open up accessibility to rural areas, facilitate business growth, and improve the quality of life for residents.</br></br>2. Local Economic Empowerment</br>Encouraging local economic growth can reduce dependence on the tourism and industrial sectors. Initiatives such as skills training, business capital assistance for local entrepreneurs, and promotion of local products can increase employment and income of local residents. In this way, Gianyar can become more economically independent and sustainable in the long term.</br></br>3. Cultural and Environmental Preservation</br>As an area with rich cultural and natural heritage, cultural and environmental preservation must be a top priority in planning the development of Gianyar. Conservation programs, cultural education and sustainable tourism management will help maintain the authenticity of local culture while protecting the natural environment from degradation.</br></br>4. Improvement of Public Services</br>The provision of quality public services, such as education, health and social services, is essential to improving the quality of life of the population. Investments in building schools, hospitals, health centers and other public facilities will ensure that every resident has equal access to these services.</br></br>5. Sustainable Tourism Development</br>Tourism plays an important role in Gianyar's economy, but sustainable tourism development needs to be prioritized. Measures such as limiting the number of visitors, managing tourism waste, promoting sustainable tourism, and local community participation in the tourism industry can help maintain a balance between economic growth and environmental conservation.</br></br>By implementing these solutions holistically and sustainably, Gianyar can build a better future for its residents while maintaining cultural authenticity and environmental sustainability.

She leads by example – her goal is to inspire the next generation of conscious leaders.</br></br>HANALEI, it’s been a minute since we last spoke, can you tell us what you’ve been up to in the last couple of years?</br></br>I’ve taken a step back these last few years to really focus on what drives me creatively. Since we last spoke I feel like I’ve been through a huge reset, and this has allowed me to explore different passions including writing, which in turn has opened me up to new opportunities. I recently had the pleasure of being an author in the New York Times best-selling book Women Gone Wild!. I have also continued designing clothes, making artwork, writing, speaking and finding new ways to tell my story.</br></br>You were barely a teenager in Bali when we first caught up. How have your views changed since then?</br></br>I don’t think my views have changed necessarily; I just think they have been reinforced. I’m still focussed on creating sustainable fashion and educating other kids about making conscious decisions when buying clothing. I stand strong on sustainable fashion versus fast fashion, and it remains my mission to educate young consumers and set an example for other brands to start taking action on our problems in the fashion industry.</br></br>What projects are you involved in now, and what drives those projects?</br></br>These last few years have been very exciting. I’ve already mentioned the Women Gone Wild! book series, with its mission to inspire women around the world to take action on what they love. I’ve also been involved with the Shima Swan Surfboard Project, in partnership with We Are Mother Earth. This project is a symbolic gift for ocean health and takes a stand against the plans made by the company TEPCO to dump over 100 million tons of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean as early as next year, which will affect our environment, as well as food supply chain to a dramatic extent. I’m also happy to announce I’ve been working on a new collection for my eco-friendly fashion company, HS Styles, which takes huge inspiration from my love for the ocean and surfing. I look forward to sharing more on this in the future.</br></br>What are the biggest threats facing us in the world today, and how do you think they affect you?</br></br>Globally, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world after oil and gas. It’s responsible for 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually. This blows my mind. It takes over 750 gallons of water to produce a single cotton T-shirt, not to mention that 20% of global wastewater comes from textile dyeing, because the bulk of the production is in countries with little or no regulation, so the wastewater often finds its way to rivers and seas where it can wreak havoc.</br></br>I never thought that deeply about fashion’s effect on our planet before I learned about this. So, when I started my fashion brand at 11 years old, I knew I didn’t want to contribute to any further destruction. I knew I had to do it differently, which brought me to slow fashion. I only use suitable materials like bamboo, which takes roughly one percent of the water otherwise needed to make a t-shirt. I also committed to giving back, so this is where HS Styles began.</br></br>In today’s social media landscape, are we all guilty of putting self-promotion before these causes?</br></br>Yes, everyone is, but that’s okay. We don’t always have to focus on the negative things on our planet, but I do believe these topics should be talked about so we can inspire other people to use their voices to uplift causes they care about. It’s important that everyone recognises that they have a voice – the more we talk about sustainability, for instance, the more we can educate and effect change. If that means promoting yourself and your business as well, then so be it. The point is the whole platform gets larger, and this always translates into greater awareness for others to follow.</br></br>How can we do our part?</br></br>There are three simple ways you can help. Through your time, your money, and or sharing your voice. Using your time could mean volunteering at an organisation that is already working towards making change, finding ways you can support others. Using your money could mean donating to certain charities/organisations, being more conscious with your spending by limiting your purchases and consumption, changing your buying habits by shopping at more sustainable brands, or even buying second-hand/vintage clothing to give them a chance not to not end up in landfill. You can also use your voice – talking about problems you care about is one of the most powerful tools you have, whether through open conversations or social media. If we each make a small change, we can create a bigger impact. The more we educate, the more we can inspire people to start thinking and buying consciously.</br></br>Do you think it is possible to affect future outcomes, and how would you do that? Yes, I believe we are able to affect future outcomes, but I don’t believe I can change the world on my own. We are the change we wish to see in the world, and I believe by standing together to fight against fast fashion and other habits that contribute to the destruction of our planet we can make a difference. I hope by inspiring others I can create a butterfly or ripple effect that will lead to sustainable change, and I hope my company HS Styles can set an example to inspire other brands.</br></br>How do you see yourself in 20 years’ time?</br></br>I haven’t thought that far into my future to be honest, so I genuinely don’t know where I want to end up, but I certainly know I don’t want to put myself in a box. I want to stay open to new possibilities and opportunities that may come my way. Over time I know my interests and thoughts will change and I am open to that.</br></br>Where are we heading as a race in your generation?</br></br>Our future is not bright, especially when you look at the rapid speed of climate change and the continuation of fast fashion practices by huge corporations. It’s obvious we are slowly destroying our only planet, and I am scared for our future generations.</br></br>Do you still have hope?</br></br>Yes, but only if we start taking action right now. We need to find solutions for the problems we already have instead of continuing to create others. I believe it is the responsibility of big companies to take into account how they are affecting the earth. It needs to be our mission to make our voices heard and to stand for what we care about.</br></br>IG: @HanaleiSwan</br>FB: Hanalei Swan-HS Styles</br>www.hanaleiswan.com</br>www.wgwbook.comStyles www.hanaleiswan.com www.wgwbook.com)

  • ngiringja iraga mebakti ring ajeng  + (Hello Bahasa bali wiki, do you know what iHello Bahasa bali wiki, do you know what is the meaning of garbage? Do you know how many types of garbage there are? Garbage is the remaining waste from a product or item that is no longer used but can still be recycled into valuable items. Waste can be divided into 2 types, including organic waste and inorganic waste.</br>Organic waste can be an environmentally friendly type of waste. If properly managed, it can even be a source of something useful. However, due to the rapid decomposition of organic waste, organic waste can cause disease and unpleasant odours if not managed properly. "Hi Baliwiki friends, do you know how many types of organic waste there are? Organic waste is divided into 2, including wet and dry organic waste.</br> 1. Liquid - organic waste</br>Wet organic waste is defined as organic waste that contains a large amount of water. Examples of wet organic waste are vegetable waste, rotten banana peel, onion peel and the like.</br> 2. Dry - organic waste </br>Dry organic wastes are organic wastes that contain a small amount of moisture. Examples of dry organic waste include wood, tree limbs, tree trimmings, wood and dry leaves.</br>Inorganic waste is waste that is no longer in use and is difficult to decompose. Inorganic waste that is buried in the soil can cause soil pollution. This is because inorganic waste is classified as a persistent substance and the waste is buried in the soil for a long time, causing damage to the soil layer. </br>Examples of inorganic waste are: plastic, beverage bottles/cans, crackling, etc.</br>"Now, having explained, have you guys understood? I hope you have". </br>"Do you know what will happens when you mix organic and inorganic waste?</br>Mixing organic and inorganic waste not only causes odour and unsightliness. This pile of mixed organic and inorganic waste can be a threat to human life. Organic waste produces harmful leachate. This liquid can degrade the quality of the soil and air around the waste. Can separating waste help? But what is the importance of waste separation in Indonesia?</br>The importance of waste separation". Rubbish? Hello! Horrible! Everyone avoids it. Everyone gets annoyed when there's rubbish around. Right? Try to imagine if your room was full of other people's rubbish. Wouldn't you be angry? Surprisingly, many of us do litter. If you're riding a motorbike, you casually litter; if you're studying in class, you casually throw rubbish on the floor and don't pick it up. The funny thing is, when you come to a place with a lot of rubbish, you sneer and mutter: "WHAT A SLOB"</br>The importance of waste separation is therefore the facilitation of further waste management. In addition to facilitating further waste management, the sorting of organic and inorganic waste can also reduce air pollution caused by the accumulation of waste that is still mixed between organic and inorganic waste.</br>I took an example of a waste sorting programme from one of the schools in South Kuta, namely SMA Negeri 3 Kuta Selatan. If there is such a programme, are you sure that all the students will follow and implement the programme correctly? "After a lot of instruction from the teachers to the students in the school, it is not necessarily the students and the students will implement the programme correctly, the students and the students consider the programme as a waste sorting programme.</br>The school has provided 10 garbage cans with names and pictures, but the sorting of waste is very complicated;</br>The trash bins provided by the school include:</br> 1. Aluminium litter bin</br> 2. Organic waste bin</br> 3. Pedal bin</br> 4. Plastic waste bin</br> 5. Plastic waste bin</br> 6. Bottle cap bin</br> 7. Clean pet waste bin</br> 8. Residue bin</br> 9. Single layer bin</br>10. Multi-layer bin</br>However, the students at the school still have a mixture of organic and inorganic waste in the same place, which is a bit of a mess, isn't it?</br>The school does not yet have a caretaker to sort the waste. However, the school has been working with the KOMUNITAS PLASTIK EXCANGE KUTA SELATAN and once a month the waste is transported to the school. The school does not know the amount of waste for a month. This is because the school has recently implemented the waste sorting programme.</br>A good example of another school that I have received is from one of the schools in Malang, namely SMA 2 Malang as Adiwiyata Mandiri School Inspiring with Sustainable Waste Management Programme. The success of SMAN 2 Malang's waste management programme is a real example of how education and action can positively impact the environment. It is hoped that this programme will inspire other schools to adopt sustainable waste management practices and create a greener and more environmentally conscious learning environment.onmentally conscious learning environment.)
