The characteristics of land use and transportation infrastructure in tourism areas in Bali Province

Due to the over-concentration of tourism infrastructure development in South Bali, Bali's other tourist areas have experienced uneven tourism development and economic disparities. In this research, a mixed approach of qualitative and quantitative methods is used to evaluate the characteristics of land use and transportation infrastructure in Bali's tourist areas. Both primary and secondary statistics come from observation and related organizations, respectively. This research demonstrates that the land use in South, Central, and East Bali is very well characterized by lodging and amenity facilities, tourism services, and utilities. Moderate accessibility, an unorganized parking system, a good supply of public transportation, good road performance, and a good supply of terminals, airports, and harbors are characteristics of the transportation infrastructure. In contrast, land use in North and West Bali is defined by a lack of amenities, utilities, and tourist services. Low accessibility, inadequate parking and public transportation, excellent road performance, well-stocked terminals, and subpar airports and seaports are characteristics of the transportation infrastructure. Secondary evidence showing unequal amounts of land use and transportation infrastructure, which results in unequal numbers of tourist visits, supports this. Further research needs to examine the relationship between land use, transportation infrastructure and the development of tourist areas.
