Abstract:
This research explores the historical journey and cultural identity of Bali Island, a famous tourism destination in Indonesia. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this research explores the history of the island from the perspectives of archaeology, history, cultural anthropology, and literature studies. Through analysis of historical documentation and interviews with local residents, this study identifies the factors that shape Bali's unique cultural identity, including the influence of Hindu-Buddhism, Islam, and Dutch colonialism. Research methods involve surveys of historical sites, analysis of cultural artifacts, and tracing historical narratives through classical and modern texts. The research results show that Bali's long history has formed a rich and complex cultural identity, with influences from various different cultures. Social, political, and economic changes in the island's history played an important role in the formation of Bali's diverse identity. This research provides a deeper understanding of the relationship between Balinese history and cultural identity, as well as its relevance in the current global context. Practical implications of this research include a better understanding of tourism potential, cultural heritage preservation, and sustainable development on the island of Bali.
