Changes that can be significantly felt by residents along the Ayung River Basin, such as the transition of their sources of livelihood (economic transformation), from farmers to non-farmers. Farmers who have more capital and more skills can live their lives by opening a business or trading, such as managing lodging / boarding houses, opening an artshop, opening a shop / shop, so that their income increases. Whereas farmers who lack capital and skills usually become farm laborers or casual laborers.

            As the development of tourism and the process of conversion of agricultural land into built up land for non-agricultural activities, there are some changes that occur in the social structure in the local community. These changes occur mainly in the development areas described above. Usually the owner of agricultural land is in one family or one location in a certain area which then almost simultaneously their agricultural land is sold. Then because there is no continuation of economic activity, they look for their economic activities differently. Therefore, although they are still in one location, the difference in economic activity and the influx of migrants in their area makes the kinship between citizens fade somewhat. These changes will eventually lead to the waning of kinship between citizens as stated by Yunus (2008) that there is a decohesiveness of social kinship, namely the reduction of kinship between citizens, ie from people whose viscosity is thick or the community (gemeinschaft) becomes faded and individualistic (gesselschaft).
