Bali - Indonesia has aim has three cultural heritage for inclusion on UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites. They are Jatiluwih Rice Field Terraces, traditional villages in the Tabanan region together with its surrounding rice terraces, Taman Ayun, the islands' main temple complex, a group of eight (8) temples along the Pakerisan river valley, and Pura Besakih temple compound for possible extension. The cluster sites as an ensemble represent the Bali Cultural Landscape of international significance.
The Jatiluwih Rice Field Terraces explain the distinctive feature of the social and engineering system of Subak, which interrelates with the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana.
Taman Ayun Temple compound is an important representative of ongoing traditions in religion, temple construction, ceremonial activities and social cohesion.
The group of temple complexes, archaeological sites and landscape along the Pakerisan River, reveals historic development of religious and architectural concepts which are clear testimony of the Hindu-Balinese cosmology concept of Tri Hita Karana, the God, human being and natural environment interlinked with each other.
The Director General for History and Ancient Sites at the Department of Culture and Tourism, Hari Untoro Drajat, expected that by June of 2010 the three areas will receive notification of their selection by UNESCO. Further fueling Drajat's optimism is the fact that the three areas in Bali are embraced and preserved as cultural treasures by their surrounding communities.
Indonesia government also has recommended to UNESCO eight places in Indonesia to be considered as cultural heritage sites. These sites are located in Bali, Tanah Toraja, Nias, Muara Jambi and Trowulan. Bali, is the most Indonesia International Destination |
