Abstract
The small Indonesian island of Bali is widely known as a global tourist destination.
According to glossy tourist brochures the island is nothing less than a paradise.
However, the flipside of this paradisiacal image is its social and environmental
problems and conflicts, related to growing environmental pressures. Bali is far from
unique: many regions all over the world experience similar processes of change,
whether tourism-driven or related to other processes. Urbanisation and industrialisation,
for instance, may drive conversion of land and transfers of water away from
agricultural to other uses.
