Sacred Mandala of Wenara Wana: implementation model of sustainable tourism governance by monkey forest tourist attraction in Bali (Indonesia)

Abstract

Environmental damage control and cultural traditions are the main focus of sustainable tourism development. Padangtegal Traditional Village, with its Monkey Forest Ubud tourist attraction, is one of the traditional villages that can maximize its tourism potential and improve the economy of its customary law community. For this reason, this research will examine the management model of the Ubud Monkey Forest management model from the perspective of sustainable tourism. This research aims to determine sustainable tourism management procedures with Padangtegal Traditional Village as an example of ideal implementation. This research uses empirical legal research methods with socio- legal approaches, legislation, and legal facts. The technical analysis of this research uses descriptive and prescriptive analysis techniques. This study demonstrates that the Padangtegal Traditional Village effectively applies the Tri Hita Karana philosophy in the management of the Monkey Forest Ubud, thereby aligning with the principles of sustainable tourism implementation. In addition, Padangtegal Traditional Village is very professional in managing the Monkey Forest by involving academics and practitioners to work together to protect and preserve the customary forest and the animals that live there.
