This study was aimed at explaining jewelry production, its development and implications of the developing trends. This study was conducted in Celuk Village, Gianyar Regency, a place or arena of production, distribution and at the same time sale of jewelry in Bali, Indonesia, in which Celuk is regarded as the basis for jewelry. This paper explains the development of jewelry at the beginning of the emergence of tourism and the implications, and the introduction of casting machine as the method of production which had an implication in the change of human labor, in which the artisans became machine power regarded as more professional in jewelry production. The data of this ethnographic study were collected through observation, in-depth interview, library research, and internet search. The finding showed that the presence of jewelry that is developing in Celuk Village does not give an optimal positive contribution to the community of the village as artisans, but in stead, it gives profits to the people outside the village who are involved in the development of the jewelry trends. The entrance of tourism with the implication on the high level of jewelry production and sale in Celuk Village started from 1980s gave profits to tour guides who were regarded as the ones who deserve to get fee in a large amount by the artisans. When there was a trend in jewelry in 2010-2014, in which the demand for jewelry like accessories for kebaya cloth for going to the temple and a ring with gemstone drove away the artisans whose position had been replaced by casting machines and workers who came from outside of Celuk Village who were regarded more professional by jewelry business people in producing standard jewelry in a large quantity. In this paper it is understood that artisans in Celuk Village are not able to obtain an optimal use from jewelry trends that develop in their location due to various factors such as the low level of education of the artisans, low level of profesionalism in working, and the low level of ability of the artisans in production management.

Pandemi berdampak pada terpuruknya ekonomi masyarakat di Bali, khususnya di Denpasar yang merupakan ibu kota provinsi. Berbagai cara ditempuh pemerintah untuk membantu masyarakat bertahan di masa sulit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan strategi resiliensi masyarakat Kota Denpasar pada masa pandemi covid-19 dengan mengamati masyarakat penerima program stimulus PIP2 (Pandemic Incubation Program), yang merupakan kelanjutan program inkubasi tahun sebelumnya. Pengumpulan data penelitian menggunakan metode kuesioner (Google Form), wawancara dengan responden (baik langsung maupun tidak langsung/online), dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan kajian budaya. Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa program stimulus yang diberikan oleh Pemerintah Kota Denpasar disambut baik oleh masyarakat yang memiliki KTP Denpasar dengan mengajukan proposal pengajuan dana dengan menunjukkan usaha yang sedang dikembangkan. Modal berupa uang tunai yang diterima dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan usahanya walaupun hanya sedikit peserta yang mampu bertahan hingga program berakhir. Selain tetap melakukan inovasi produk melalui diskusi langsung atau WhatsApp dengan inkubator bisnis sebagai pendampingnya, peserta yang menerima program stimulus PIP2 juga memanfaatkan media sosial untuk menjual produk.

This paper aims to describe the existence of imported fruit used by the Balinese Hindu community as a ritual tool during the pandemic. There is an assumption that imported fruit is more expensive, meaning that everyone who uses these fruits in their offerings (banten) is a person who is at a certain economic level and social status. Although the government recommends using local fruit, because it has an impact on the welfare of local farmers, this does not make people switch to consuming local fruit. Even during the pandemic, this phenomenon can still be seen in various ritual activities, in cities and villages. With the argument that imported fruit is easier to find than local fruit, imported fruit is the people's choice. In addition, many Hindu religious ceremonial activities in Bali from small to large scale require the community to buy fruit in a certain amount and at a certain time. Thus, it can be understood that the high consumption of imported fruit is due to the high demand for fruit and the lifestyle of the people who want to look classy. Methodology: This research was conducted using an ethnographic approach as a variant of the qualitative approach. Data collection is done through observation and interviews with the perpetrators, namely people who carry out ritual activities. Respondents were met randomly at the location of the ceremony. The results of data analysis are presented informally in descriptivenarrative form. Findings: Religious ceremonies in Bali are carried out in contemplative life, manifested by the totality of their people in giving offerings to God. The spiritual totality of the Balinese Hindu community not only has an impact on the preservation of tradition, but also on the economy of the Balinese people. The high demand of imported fruit for offerings, in addition to having an impact on the occurrence of contestation, also provides economic benefits for the Balinese people who work as fruit sellers, both in the market and in supermarkets. Originality/Value: By this research, an understanding of the making of ceremonial facilities is still often found to fulfill desires rather than spiritual needs, namely to show socioeconomic status. One can be shown by the use of ceremonial facilities that look classy.
