Traditional Settlement Livability in Creating Sustainable Living

AbstractTenganan Pegringsingan is a tourist destination in Amlapura, Bali well known mostly for its walled traditional settlement and how Hindu Indra religion and Balinese culture are intertwined in the community's daily life. Despite the strong intention of inhabitants to keep their beliefs and norms, tourism has significantly brought many changes to the community as well as to their living spaces. To accommodate the commercial activities for example, most of the inhabitants utilise their houses and modify them if necessary. This qualitative study examines the livability factors in Tengangan Pegringsingan village in order to sustain their living space according to the local norms as well as to develop their capacities in the tourism industry. Data are obtained by interviewing the inhabitants and examining both the settlement and their houses while statistics are used to measure the tourism development. The research shows that modification is conducted not only on the living space but also through the application of beliefs and norms
