"Envisioning Environmental Peacebuilding through the Protection of Bali’s Cultural Landscapes" with Wiwik Dharmiasih ------- Session: Subak, the traditional farming system in Bali, was inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012. It represents traditional irrigation water management in rice cultivation that has existed for more than a millennium. However, developmental challenges such as land use change, water access, land taxation, and aging farmers threatened the existence of the subak system. This presentation examines the inscription of subak system into UNESCO World Heritage List, the ways that new conflicts have emerged, and offers new pathways to protecting socio-ecological practices as a foundation for environmental peacebuilding. ------- Speaker: Wiwik Dharmiasih is a Ph.D. student at the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of 51ÂÒÂ×»»ÆÞ‘i at ²ÑÄå²Ô´Ç²¹.
