The growing development of the tourism sector impacts increasing land conversion, which results in a reduction in productive agricultural land and the threat of subak as an agricultural institution based on local wisdom in Bali. The development of the tourism sector has eroded the existence of subak due to the high economic value of converting agricultural land to non-agricultural functions. If this condition continues, the existence of subak as a form of local wisdom in the agricultural sector in Bali will become extinct. Moreover, the subak cultural landscape in Bali has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage. The heritage includes four sites (areas) which all form one unit.This study aims to analyze the use of the Jatiluwih subak landscape as a tourist object by focusing on the problem of tourists’ perceptions of the subak Jatiluwih landscape and the impact of these tourism activities on village income. The research was conducted on the Subak Jatiluwih Landscape as a WBD icon. The approach used is a quantitative approach using primary and secondary data. The sample in this study was taken by interview method and documentation study, which was then analyzed descriptively. The analysis results show an increase in the number of tourist visits every year where tourists think that an interesting tourist object is a place that has uniqueness. Tourism activities also positively impacted the village economy, where the local traditional village managed and fairly shared income from entrance tickets to tourist objects.

Purpose : The study aims to determine the decomposition of household income inequality in Bali based on the migration status using regression-based decomposition analysis. Theoretical framework: Alsina and Rodrick (1994) stated that hearing opinions will inhibit the growth process and will result in redistribution national income will be expensive. Other things Bourguignon (2004), stated that the worrying condition that occurred because relative presence of the population. Inequality in income occurs because of every normal observation with population mean, which makes the scale independent of income. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses consumption expenditure data from the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS), covering for more than 45,000 household, focusing on Bali province in 2018. Finding: In general, the result shows that the proportion of rural-urban difference is the main cause of the household inequality in Bali, consistently with the prediction that migration from rural to urban areas is a key source of inequality. Moreover, the results of the Blinder-Oaxaca regression-based decomposition show that the rural-urban difference, the marital status of the head of the household, the highest education of the head of the household, and the number of household members affect the inequality of household income in Bali for both migrants and non-migrants. Only gender of the head of the household has no significant effect on the inequality. Research, Pratical & Sosial Implications: Practically, this research will contribute finding decomposition of household income inequality
