Agriculture and Idea of Subak Tourism

[IN] in between President Megawati Soekarnoputri event plant paddy [in] Countryside of
Beraban District Of Selemadeg Sub-Province of Tabanan, Sunday Morning, 12 January 2003,
President entourage have time to see to near from life of society three countryside -- Beraban,
Tangguntiti and of Tegalmengkeb -- passed by Ms. President and [his/its] husband, Taufiq
Kiemas, with entourage. the Farmer society through years feeling [him/ it] it[him] chance. Hence
from that, society [in] this three countryside often envy with other countrysides which [is]
kecipratan of rezeki of tourism dollar. Society [in] this triangle area also wish dollar mengais,
although intention farm, ever onwards.

Is it possible that idea about tourism subak become answer alternative face the problem? Why
[do] not? Minister Culture and Tourism, I Gde Ardika have program of subak tourism. Even this
program have been said [by] minister of Buleleng this before elite figures [in] three mentioned
countryside in its visit [of] mid 2002 then.
idea of Subak tourism place forward traditional organization [of] subak as asset at the same
time tourism object which directly entangle farmer society [in] region of subak itself. According
to writer of tourism, Nyoman S Pendit in its book '' Develop;Build Bali'' ( 2001:82) of subak
[his/its] principal tourism [is], continuation of culture of society participation.

Tourism model like this grow from under, in this case subak krama. Thereby feel sense of
belonging and togetherness felt very jell, as does subak filosopis. Tourism Subak being based
on [at] society have big benefit in the case of enableness of local resource, people economics
and continuation of culture. Before idea appearance of subak tourism, natural [is] rice field and
farmer activity have become separate fascination to tourist.

Some entourage of turis sent by journey bureau handling [it], have direct go down to rice field
to plant paddy. attraction of Wisata unique have happened [in] a subak [in] Klungkung and of
Kerambitan, Tabanan. Activity of this rareness also have been test-drived [by] [in] Jatiluwih in
order to setling the countryside mentioned as countryside of wisata. But, because this program
[do] not entangle local subak, finally attraction of wisata turis plant paddy, have never heard
again.

Conception tourism subak is not new material [is] at all, if seeing attraction example [of]s of
wisata mentioned. Particularly again in the effort continuation of cultural values, local
government of Bali cooperate with Local government of Sub-Province of Tabanan have
succeeded to found subak museum, which [is] its location [in] Bun, eastside town of Tabanan.

Since opened [at] 20 July 1988, subak museum almost have never experienced of a period of/to
feather in one's cap. Organizational though subak being based on [in] society can popularize
the name of Bali [in] national and international forum. Management of subak museum impress
overlap [among/between] Local government Mount I and Local Government Mount II Tabanan.
Searching information due to this [is] musum rather difficult because less publication compared
to other museum [in] Bali. At the opposite of all that, in the reality many institution either in
province storey;level and also sub-province owning amdil as according to its area each

Management and conservancy of building and also facility of museum subak have been
handled by Ceremony Builder Institute Custom ( Tentative MPLA) assisted by team of museum
subak. Besides MPLA, management and conservancy also have been handled [by] Kanwil PU

storey;level of I and also [in] storey;level of II, please sign that Field of Mathika Subak Tabanan
represent the project of giant [in] new order era. But, unhappily, its it[him] own less is
approximating [of] its function as a museum which [there] no two him [in] world.
