Baliology- Towards the maintenance of Balinese sustainable development

Baliology is study about Bali, the concept of which is actually about how the Balinese and the Balinists as the experts concerned about Balinese cultural development, regard the recent development of Bali. What kinds of efforts have been made in order to preserve and maintain that sustainable development? The idea to promote Baliology is due to the fast globalization and democratization processes that have developed since the 1980s.These have caused certain social, cultural, economic and political frictions and conflicts not only at the local level but also at the national level. The pertinent question is: how do the local government, entrepreneurs and the local communities anticipate those critical problems in accordance with a harmonious and peaceful life in Bali? This is not only for the local Balinese who are the majority of the population who are Hindus but also for the minority groups who are Muslim, Christian or Buddhist to mentione some, that need to be paid attention to in the context of a multicultural society. The aim of this paper is to highlight the significant issues in accordance with those matters. Therefore, through it, some significant aspects will be analysed: Firstly: the social and cultural changes within Balinese communities; Secondly: to what extent have the social and cultural changes occurred in Bali and how do the Balinese anticipate critical problems? and Thirdly: how can the concept of Baliology be implemented not only as a discourse but also as certain regulations for a better life in Bali? by answering these questions, this paper is expected to reach a better understanding of how the local government, entrepreneurs and local communities can work together synergetically to anticipate and solve problems for a better and sustainable life in Bali.
