Abstract
Taman Gumi Banten Forest is located in Wanagiri Village, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, Bali Province. This forest was previously managed by the local government. When managed by the government, illegal logging occurred and expansion of cultivated plants into the forest. The government then grants the forest for its management to the customary village. The forest that is managed by this customary village is based on local wisdom so that this forest remains sustainable until now and there is no illegal logging and expansion of cultivated plants into the middle of the forest. The purpose of this study was to determine the various species of medicinal plants and their mapping in the perspective of traditional medicinal plant use, processing methods, usage methods, designation of medicinal plants, tourism perspectives, and local wisdom-based conservation. The research population was all plant species in the forest of Taman Gumi Banten. The research sample for (1) mapping study was the entire forest area of Taman Gumi Banten. (2) Plant species samples are all plant species covered by squares with a size of 20x20 m<sup>2</sup> (for trees), 5x5 m<sup>2</sup> (for saplings), and 1x1 m<sup>2</sup> for seeds / seedlings). To find out the various types of plants that can be used as medicinal plants, deep interview methods, observation, questionnaires, and check lists are used. The informants were Balian / Shaman (2 people), Village Head and staff (5 people), Traditional Village Head staff (5 people), Stakeholders / Pastors (3 people), General Community (10 people). Total informants were 25 people. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed: (1) The overall plant species and medicinal plants in the Taman Gumi Banten forest, Wanagiri Village, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency have been mapped. (2) The traditional use of medicinal plants by the Balinese people generally has three properties, namely tis (cold), dumelade (not cold and not hot), and anget (hot). (3) In the perspective of developing forest tourism, there are opportunities to be developed as a tourism object.

Summary
Mapping is an effort to convey, analyze, and classify the data in question, as well as convey it in the form of a map giving a clear picture. What is important in thematic maps is the presentation of data in the form of symbols, because symbols convey the contents of the map and as a medium of good communication between map makers and map users. In the context of developing forest areas, physical / socio-economic data, field surveys, aerial / satellite imagery and literature that have been collected, are analyzed some of the data is presented / manifested in the form of thematic maps using various scales according to needs. The distribution of the location of a plant, field data is needed which is obtained through measurements with auxiliary points. These auxiliary points are needed to determine triangulation points which have fixed coordinates. A mapping method was used which was carried out with a simple measurement technique
