Jatiluwih[edit]
Jatiluwih is an administrative village in Penebel District, north of Tabanan; it is formed with two customary villages, Gunung Sari and Jatiluwih; under these two customary villages there are seven customary hamlets or banjar.[4] It has terraced paddy fields following the contours of land against the background of Mount Batukaru and Mount Agung. These terraces use the traditional Balinese irrigation known as subak, Bali's community-based water control management system. The village is at an altitude of 700 meters. Two routes to Jatiluwih are Denpasar > Kediri > Tabanan > Penebel > Jatiluwih or Denpasar > Mengwi > Baturiti > Jatiluwih.[5]
Jatiluwih rice terraces are one of the five areas that make up UNESCO's world's cultural heritage site listed for the unique "subak" water management system.[6]
In the early 1990s, Jatiluwih was one of three villages chosen for a pilot project aiming at developing village tourism, as an alternative to mass tourism that has been overtaking Bali. The government argued that this project would be under local management and would therefore be of more benefit to the local community. At the time, the initiative failed to attract a significant amount of tourist visits; and the revenues it generated had frequently been a source of conflict. Thus many villagers argued that this tourism project failed to reach its objectives.[7]
Tourism development control[edit]
To preserve the largest area of 53,000 hectares of agriculture fields on the island, the Tabanan Regency Administration would not allow the development of star-rated city hotels anymore, unless tourism facilities with a commitment to environmental conservation would be allowed with 30 percent of buildings and 70 percent had to be left naturally as paddy field or plantation. The administration has also decided 300-hectare protected paddy field zone with a 100-hectare housing zone lies outside the protected zone. For visitors, it is possible to visit the 300-hectare on foot (about 31⁄2 hrs trekking) or with an e-bike tour that the local villagers have organized since 2017 (about 1 hour).
Climate[edit]
Tabanan has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with moderate rainfall from April to September and heavy rainfall from October to March.
