MAINTENANCE OF TRADITIONAL IRRIGATION CHANNELS (SUBAK) AS A MEANS OF PRESERVING AGROTOURISM FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN SOBANGAN VILLAGE, BADUNG REGENCY, BALI PROVINCE

Abstract

Sobangan Village is a vegetable producing agricultural area which is a support for
food products for the southern part of Bali. So it is hoped that the existence of
agriculture in this area will be maintained from the influence of changes in land use
due to tourism. and the economic development of local communities who are shifting
from farmers to actors in the tourism sector. Changes in local community culture due
to the influence of tourism will of course have an impact on spatial patterns in the
area. This research aims to identify the initial conditions of the Subak irrigation canal
infrastructure in the Sobangan area to determine educational patterns and
maintenance of irrigation canals and to become a model for developing maintenance
of traditional irrigation networks in the future. The method used in this research is a
descriptive method which describes the identification of irrigation canal conditions,
education patterns for the community and identification of irrigation canal
maintenance based on field surveys and interviews in handling irrigation canals.
Cooperation between the government and the community is needed in maintaining
the Subak network so that it can function effectively. Regular monitoring can be
carried out by the local community and in coordination with the PUPR Service
