[bali-bali] RE: [bali] Re: KUTA GREAT WALL - sharing



P Nengah Sudja,

 

Katanya kan sudah bicara dengan stakeholders, loh memangnya stakeholders juga punya kapasitas dan kompetensi untuk melakukan kajian, mengukur dampak dll? Itu kan semua pekerjaan dari pemerintah dan para pejabat nya... selalu dengan alasan sudah bicara dengan stakeholders seakan itu paspornya untuk melakukan apa saja.  Stakeholders memang menyatakan membutuhkan jalan keluar untuk menahan abrasi dan juga hujan pasir ketika ada angin, tapi kan perlu ada kajian ‘tembok’ semacam apa yang dibutuhkan? Dari segala sisi dan dampaknya.

 

Itu yang tidak dilakukan.  Tembok itu kan tidak harus semacam itu, banyak sekali macam yang bisa memberikan banyak manfaat pendidikan kepada masyarakat, orang bali itu banyak lo yang bisa menggambar, atau kemampuan mendesign dengan nilai seni yang sesuai, juga tembok yang menarik yang bisa bercerita misalnya, yang HUMAN FRIENDLY DAN ENVIRONMENT SOUND.  Banyak sekali orang lalu lalang disana dan bukan hanya turis saja, banyak bangsa kita yang perlu pendidikan, penyuluhan yang dapat di sampaikan melalui tembok sepanjang 1500 meter tersebut.  Sayang sekali kesempatan mendidik ini sudah tenggelam begitu saja. 

 

Yah, kita lihat saja lah berapa lama tembok ini akan bertahan; piasan piasan nya akan terlepas,gopel gopel,  putihnya batu akan jadi hitam, waduh nggak bisa dibayangkan deh....dan bisa jadi juga atau siapa tau yang disuruh bayar semua hotel dan business yang ada disana, wah kalau itu yang terjadi malah lebih kacau lagi bentuk retribusi nya... ah... ngeri lah.

 

Ya sudah lah, pendapat saya juga tidak penting, karena saya paling Cuma mengajak mereka untuk berpikir, dan berpikir itu adalah hal yang paling susah di kehidupan ini.

 

Kalau batu kan nggak bisa ngomong, sedangkan kalau orang kan ribut seperti saya ini, jadi musti di tembokin aja kali ya...

 

Apa boleh buat, kambing punya bulat bulat, kalau di simpan jadi jimat, kalau di minum jadi obat.....

 

Selamat tidur.

 

Vieb

Tourists, experts reject ‘Great Wall’ of Kuta

Luh De Suriyani, The Jakarta Post, Kuta, Badung | Fri, 09/17/2010 10:19 AM | Bali

Danny Yatim, a frequent visitor to Bali, was startled when he saw a “great wall” being built along the once-pristine Kuta Beach.

Over the last few months, Badung regional administration has been constructing a two-meter concrete fence made from white sandstones, which some said has also hidden the beauty of the white sands and great waves of Kuta Beach.

The project is estimated to cost over Rp 4 billion (US$444,000) to complete is intended to protect Kuta and Legian area from tidal and sea abrasion. Fences that will span more than 1,500 meters will be built along Kuta and Legian Beach, Bali’s most famous tourist destinations.

“For those travelling to Kuta, here’s another weird development that I call ‘Kuta Wall’. If you are driving, riding, walking, strolling on the main road or sipping coffee at a ground floor cafe, you can no longer see the blue ocean. So, sorry guy, just enjoy the wall,” shared Danny.

Dozens of people shared unfavorable comments on the “Kuta Wall” on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

“I just wonder why the local government is building such an environmentally unfriendly construction,” Danny said.

Visitors could only view the wall instead of the beautiful beach when strolling along Kuta area, he added.

Kuta resident and activist Asanna Vibeke Lengkong said that the local administration should not build such a wall.

“They could plant trees or other vegetation to protect the areas from abrasion.

“[Kuta  Beach] can still look friendly, open and beautiful,” Lengkong said.

Kuta and Legian are located in Badung regency, the richest of the island’s eight regencies and mayoralties.

“[Badung administration] has a lot of money and they do not know how to spend it. Nothing is spent on the poor or for education. They should spend it on education, health and people’s welfare instead of building such a wall,” Lengkong said.

The walls were built using traditional elaborate Balinese architectural motifs.

The gates in front of Hard Rock Hotel were built in homage to Bentar Temple in a style reserved for royal palaces, big temples and important buildings. The construction of the gates near the hotel cost
Rp 500 million, she said.

Badung administration spokesman I Gede Wijaya said that the walls were built with three principals in mind.

First, Wijaya said that previous fences, which had been comprised of stone walls and plants, did not reflect Balinese architectural motifs.

Second, many tourists lodged complaints that Kuta Beach produces abundant sand storms during the rainy season.

Third, Wijaya said that Bentar Temple and the walls could be beautiful backdrops for photographers. “We do not take the protests seriously. It’s common for people to do that. We did outreach programs prior to starting construction,” Wijaya said.

Project head Retno Hapsari said that she has already consulted with all stakeholders in Kuta, including hotel owners, community leaders and other related parties.

“All of them agreed to the project,” she argued.

Noted architect Yoka Sara said that the construction of concrete walls at public facilities was not necessary.

“True Balinese architecture has no need for fences in public places such as markets, cemeteries and other public areas,” Sara said.

The development of fences and gates using the grand styles of Balinese architecture is a waste of money and not functional, she added.

“It is easy for the local administration to spend money unwisely. The buildings should not be designed with such an elaborate style. Physically, the walls create uncomfortable and unfriendly atmosphere for visitors,” Sara said.
