Interaksi Subak Jatiluwih dengan Pariwisata

Abstract

Subak of Jatiluwih Interaction with Tourism

Jatiluwih is well known as a world-recognized agricultural and tourism area. This
condition reflects a good interaction between agriculture which in this case is
represented by subak/organization of irrigation with tourism i.e. is represented by
tourism actors. Data collection in the field shows different conditions, namely the
finding of land conversion and job transformation from subak members. Both of
these conditions indicate an interaction between subak and tourism actors. The
purpose of the study discusses the form of interaction between subak with tourism in
Jatiluwih, and the impact of interaction on the existence of subak. The analytical
method used to discuss the research problem is descriptive qualitative analysis.
Qualitative descriptions are applied to information provided by the subak members
and tourism stakeholders. The findings showed that associative interaction was more
prominent than the dissociative interaction. Cooperation of Subak Jatiluwih with
tourism in the permission of utilizing the subak area for the agency management of
Jatiluwih Tourism Destination Area is meant to be the generator income because of
its natural beauty. In contrast, Subak Jatiluwih needs for compensation for any
damages to rice field and fund for religious ceremony of subak, namely the
ceremony of Ngusaba Ayu and fund for cleaning the subak irrigation channel. The
dissociative interaction can still be declared low because it can still be well
anticipated. Suggestions that can be given that the contribution to the subak need to
be considered for the subak given a more feasible contribution because it is
considered so far not meet the feasible criteria.
