Abstract
This article analyzes ^Coastal Land Control by Foreigners Through the Land Mafia and Its Implications for Tourism Business in Bali^. The study of this paper is focused on the legal aspects of coastal land control by foreigners through the Land Mafia and the Implications for Tourism Business in Bali. In analyzing these legal issues, the authors apply empirical legal research methods with statutory, conceptual, sociological and case approaches. Based on the theory of authority, utility and legal protection as an analytical device, it can be understood that the control of land along the coast in Bali cannot be separated from the existence of land mafia, thus it will have an impact on the tourism business in Bali. Likewise, the coastal land control in Bali cannot be spared from the control of foreigners involved in the land mafia, both through legal and some illegal investments by utilizing mutually beneficial cooperation between local residents, as well as village officials in Customary Village on the basis of sharing profits. Balinese people with their unique culture with Hinduism nuances, in their daily lives and in conducting business in the tourism sector, are always based on ^Tri Hita Karana Philosophy^ manifested in behavior truly maintains a harmonious relationship between ^Humans and God^, ^Humans and Nature^, and ^Humans and other Humans^. It is in this philosophy the principle of good faith in investment is reflected, so, the control of coastal land by foreigners for the benefit of the tourism business is obligatory to respect this very noble principle- in empirical facts, however, it turns out that the control of coastal land in Bali by foreigners often takes advantage of the land mafia under the guise of mutually beneficial cooperation, but it turns out that the tendency is detrimental to the use of traditional villages in carrying out the religious values inherent in these coastal lands. Thus, in this case the concept of mutually beneficial cooperation actually contains bad faith from foreigners involved in the land mafia to control Balinese land only for personal gain at the expense of the beauty and sacredness of Bali^s nature wrapped in mutually beneficial cooperation.
