Tourism in Traditional Bali Settlement

In many of the changes that are occurring in the world today, tourism has a significant role in many settlements developed mainly as tourist destinations. Among other changes, spatial and land development engendered by tourism has not been researched widely. One of the most obvious impacts of tourism is on the traditional built environment. Most studies on the impact of tourism are focused on the social and economic impacts of tourism. This research specifically focus on the impact of tourism on the traditional settlement and built environment planning process. This book is a contribution to the empirical investigation of the role of ‘institutions’ in explaining development processes and the characteristics of the resulting built environment. In planning discipline, especially land development studies arena, most economic-institutional-approach-research has been conducted in developed countries. This book has partly been based on a sociological-institutional-approach to analyze built environmental changes arising in traditional Bali settlement. The case studies for detail empirical research are Kuta and Nusa Dua in Southern Bali.
