is used to refer 3 references, first is
the village ( Banjar ) Kuta, second is Desa
Kuta ( higher administrative area than Banjar
), third is Kecamatan Kuta ( higher administrative
area than Desa ). The original Banjar Kuta
is around current beach road from Natour
Kuta hotel northward up to Jalan Melasti.
As a Desa settlement unit, Kuta covers the
neighboring traditional Banjar such as Tuban,
Legian, and Seminyak. The first Banjar to
have developed has been Kuta itself, and
all these area now known basically as Kuta
city. All areas within Desa Kuta have been
developing beyond their capacity to cover.
It was such invaded by he construction of
hotels, restaurants, shops, and various
business activities among Kuta's narrow
streets and gangs( alleys ). Just for easier
discussion about Kuta, later we use the
terms to refer each area of Kuta. Central
Kuta to refer to area of now in the surrounding
of beach road, Tuban for south Kuta city,
Legian for Legian area, and Seminyak for
Northern Kuta city. While Krobokan is the
northernmost of Kecamatan Kuta. All these
areas have been developing tourism facilities
such as hotels, villas, restaurants, shops
and others. Our focus here is central Kuta,
where the first tourism facility called
hotel was already built in 1930 at current
location of Natour Kuta beach. Central Kuta
has some luxurious hotels such as Hard Rock
Hotel, Mercure Kuta, Sahid Raya Kuta, Kul
Kul Resort, and Intan Legian Hotel. For
tourist class facilities are famous along
the Poppies lane I and II, where various
cheap restaurants and cheap hotels are available
within the narrow gangs. Kuta Mall shopping
center is belong to Tuban area, just on
the border of Banjar Kuta ( here Banjar
Pande Mas ) with Banjar Tuban. If we compared
to other areas of Indonesia, it is for sure,
no one is comparable to the development
of Kuta hotels, where more than a hundreds
Kuta hotels from simple Kuta hotels, medium
category Kuta hotels, deluxe Kuta hotels,
luxurious Kuta hotels, and Kuta villas are
available here in Kuta city. The development
of Kuta hotels has made the already narrow
space of Kuta become more crowded. Local
government has not been able to plan and
control the use of land for the construction
of Kuta hotels in general, and other various
tourism facilities. This will at any time
make the situation be a set back to Kuta
city itself, as it involves security and
comfortability of travelers. We anticipate
that the local Banjars will disappointed
with the excessive density of both traffics
and business life, although they are fully
aware that they gain higher standard of
living with the development of Kuta hotels
and other business entities in
