Apartemen

One of the things that cause a person decides to live and live in Bali because Bali is relatively have something innocent, pure, far from the iconic signs of arrogance and jumawa impressive as in other big cities in Indonesia, like Jakarta or call Surabaya.

Indeed nothing is 100% pure ideology behind it is always there, although ideology is called 'idealism of capitalism' because ultimately sold well anyway, because after Bali is synonymous with the world of tourism that can not be separated from capitalism itself.

Along with the passage of time, accelerating the growth of tourism in Bali commodity looks very strong, especially in the last three years. There are always new areas that we are not yet familiar, making the island increasingly sharp layer consists of various dimensions.

Differences on this dimension becomes increasingly evident in the two meanings. First, getting away from the roots of the culture and customs of the Balinese life. Secondly, the accumulation of buildings in certain areas although, yes it was, it is legitimate because there was betting on investment value.

From West coast to the South down to the outposts of the remote villages we see certain commercial buildings, construction of the Villa, a boutique hotel and apartments began to soar. Overall I think it 'legitimate', but tends to be the same scenery as we meet in other places outside of Bali.

Look at the glass boxes stacked together vertically in front of the beach or in the middle of the plain, appearing almost as if in one of uniformity, it makes no difference with the existing formations in Jakarta, Singapore, or Hong Kong Gold Coast.

Cultural exoticism and magical atmosphere slightly thick covering various places in Bali to be extraordinary attraction, especially for world tourism, slowly shifting. It is undeniable that such a shift may indeed have occurred in response to market demand, as a form of development or may be responsible for the reputation of Bali as a world tourism destination.

Road-jalanlah in the area of Sunset Road, Pecatu or Blue Ocean (the region's famous Double Six), and many other places that are in the stage of development. You will easily find an apartment unit from four to five floors, which will make you feel like is not in Bali again.

For me before, Bali was a row of buildings that friendly (because it is not as lofty towering untouched) with a facade that contextual with the environment. A little village far from impressed glittering impression. An embedded self-image construction for so long; portrait with a culture of creativity that thick.

Although directly related to the society, culture and civilization beyond, Bali, far from sparkling impression jumawa nan, hotels, villas, resorts, cafes exist in the form of humane, warm and familiar with the size of the luxury of its own.

Time was moving and all that history should not be dissolved in it. So was the growth of the phenomenon of accommodation in Bali with the current proliferation of apartment building. Understandably, if the acceleration of development that occurs as if a moment of revenge after some time had experienced a downturn due to bomb Bali twice meluluh lantahkan tourism sector, which led almost every joint of life in Bali interact directly with it.

Apartments or public house is basically a 'merumah' in the land becomes more scarce, the answer to owning a house with a compact and efficient facility, or have an affordable house in an area favorite.

Also as a lifestyle choice or can even be a representation of a particular class, because the new middle-class economic growth almost in many places in Indonesia or in other countries, which incidentally has the power of this type of mobility and high purchasing power, thus it is fitting targets to exploit all of their needs.

We can not turn a blind eye. These developments impact on the state of the economy is in Bali that is not happening with the 'do not intentionally and without effort', is integral to efforts to re-raise the prestige of Bali as the world's favorite tourist destinations. One indication of economic growth are easily visible at the macro level with the rapid growth in property including apartments, and becomes attractive investment area for investors both within and outside the country.

The question now is whether growth in these apartments occur at random or constructed? Maybe it's good for the parties involved to examine in depth and has strict controls on the granting of building permits for example, so as not to be a growing cross-party chaos and hurt many. Because talking about the growth of infrastructure (read: apartment) complex responsibilities involving both the developer and the government of Bali itself.

For the government of course is beneficial, but there was wisdom that 'not wise' such indiscriminate granting building permits. One building can be established but does not pass one or two times occurred, on the other buildings there are revisions to the form of design that do not conform to the shape of the 'traditional Balinese' which led to the dismissal of the development. Or even change the design of buildings in total.

Of course, this has resulted in losses for the investors, and led to stagnant investment route because of unpreparedness relevant parties to prepare a set of regulations that ensure the safety of these investments are made.

The spread of locations, this is very important so that does not happen buildup in certain areas like I had mentioned earlier that can lead to unhealthy price competition, leading to deeper layers of dimension. Which of course also ultimately detrimental to all parties. In a micro-profit cultural must also have in it.

Do not get eroded by rampant development of cultural exoticism and charm of Bali's natural charm into the main tourism commodities. If new problems arise, such as layer upon layer of overlapping dimensions of the absurd, if the prime is lost must be no alternative instead, you ready? (Text: Georgie T.
