PERAN DINAS PEKERJAAN UMUM DAN PENATAAN RUANG (PUPR) DALAM PENGENDALIAN PEMANFAATAN TATA RUANG BERBASIS PENGEMBANGAN PARIWISATA DI KABUPATEN BADUNG

Abstract

The study examines the role of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (PUPR) of Badung Regency in controlling spatial utilization based on tourism development. The research aims to analyze the extent to which the PUPR Agency implements its functions as a stabilizer, innovator, modernizer, and pioneer in maintaining spatial order while supporting sustainable tourism. Using Soerjono Soekanto’s role theory as the analytical framework, the research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the PUPR Agency has played an essential role in harmonizing spatial utilization with tourism expansion, particularly through the integration of spatial policies, technical guidelines, and coordination with tourism authorities. However, challenges remain in enforcing spatial regulations due to the high rate of land conversion, weak coordination among agencies, and limited community awareness of spatial discipline. The study concludes that the PUPR Agency’s role is effective at the strategic and planning levels but requires reinforcement at the operational and community participation levels. Strengthening inter-institutional synergy, regulatory enforcement, and public awareness are recommended to ensure sustainable spatial management aligned with Badung’s tourism development agenda.
