Environmental Law Enforcement as a Strategic Effort for Temple Sanctity Maintenance at Tourism Destination Area

Abstract

Philosophically the sanctity of the temple is an entity that must be strictly guarded even though it has different aspects, namely the economic aspect as a support for tourism activities. This paper examines the essence of environmental law enforcement as a means that can be taken to maintain the sanctity of the temple. To achieve this objective, normative method was used with statutory, sociological, and philosophical approaches. The expected output from this study is the creation of constancy in the essence of the temples existence for local community (Balinese) so that the maintenance of temples goes hand in hand with the high rate of increase in tourism activities. Hence, the focus of the discussion is the aspect of environmental law and its enforcement as a form of usable strategic effort to maintain the temple sacredness in each tourism destination.
