Abstract

This study aims to analyze the internalization of the externalities of the use of the Ayung watershed and examine the role of stakeholders in managing the use of the watershed in the tourism sector. Samples were selected through ABGC snowball sampling (Academic, Business, Government, and Community). There are two types of data used. Direct observation and in-depth interviews were used to collect primary data. Secondary data is taken from satellite imagery and MAPID.id. The analytical approach used is qualitative analysis, and stakeholder analysis uses Mactor. The results of this study show that the Ayung watershed is used for tourism, such as resorts, restaurants, and rafting. Rafting tourism is the only direct use of the Ayung watershed. The development and management of tourism around the Ayung Watershed apply the Tri Hita Karana concept. Tri Hita Karana, namely Rahyangan (relationship with God), Pawongan (relationship with the community), and Palembanghan (relationship with design and use of materials). In addition, the concept of nature embodied by the resort manager is also an effort to preserve the Ayung Watershed. Stakeholders with great influence and interest in protecting the Ayung Watershed include agriculture, LMDH Pesanggem, and Perhutani.
