DESIGN OF TOURISM FACILITIES IN THE INNOVATIVE BALI TRADITIONAL HOUSE IN GIANYAR DISTRICT: MAINTAINING PHILOSOPY AND IMPROVING THE ECONOMY

Balinese traditional houses, in the tourism area, have undergone a transformation, where on one hand, people try to maintain the identity of their traditional houses to attract tourists, but, on the other hand, they transform their homes to get economic benefits from tourism. This is a paradox phenomenon. The lack of an appropriate transformation model, which can be used as a guideline for the community in utilizing homes in tourism economic activities, infiltrates the tourism function into traditional spatial and cultural spaces. Therefore this research is urgent to do in an effort to maintain the potential of traditional houses as tourist attractions that are cultured and at the same time get economic benefits.

To achieve this goal, a multilevel method is developed, starting from extracting baseline data that records the texture and character of traditional house changes. Deeper exploration related to changes in traditional houses using samples based on stratified random sampling and interviews that will uncover and create innovations in changing traditional houses. Followed by the creation of technological innovations on traditional home change models and ended with an evaluation of the prototype created in the relevant environment. Finally, an analysis and evaluation were conducted as well as a focus group discussion on the creation of innovative design changes in traditional houses as a tourist facility without leaving the meaning and values of a traditional house.
