Implikasi Pasang-Surutnya Dukungan Terhadap Warisan Budaya Dunia Subak Jatiluwih Tabanan, Bali

Abstract

Subak Jatiluwih's choice for World Cultural Heritage must be based on the conservation of nature and culture because of traditional social organization. It means that Subak Jatiluwih's choice for World Cultural Heritage has strong support from various stakeholders, as well as the community, government, and UNESCO. Support for preserving Subak Jatiluwih as World Cultural Heritage must remain strong, as the main objective of the World Cultural Heritage site selection is the preservation of the site itself. But the first support for the preservation of Subak Jatiluwih is very strong and then gradually getting weaker. The purpose of this research is to know and understand as well as explain the implications of the ups and downs of the support of stakeholders towards the preservation of the natural environment and local culture in Subak Jatiluwih as WBD, both in the life of the stakeholders and the management of the Subak area as world cultural heritage. The implementation of this research used qualitative research methods and four theories, namely the theory of human ecology, sociocultural theory, theory of deconstruction, and practical theory. The results showed that the ups and downs of support for WBD Subak Jatiluwih implied important things to be criticized. The implications are: (1) the occurrence of top-down policies in proposing Subak Jatiluwih to be WBD and in its management after becoming WBD; (2) there is a process of internationalization or globalization of Subak Jatiluwih to become more famous throughout the world.
