INTRODUCTION

The faculty has intensively developed rural and urban development within Bali province since more than ten years ago. This mainly aims at improving life quality of people with the basis of sustainable development concept.

Recently, the growth of tourism development has rapidly increased in Bali as an international destination. One of the impacts is agricultural development has started decreased its role on economic growth. A strong competition of water resources becomes increased among the users, such as subak (traditional irrigators association), industry and domestic user.

In term of agriculture, subak existence is very important as it is a socio-agricultural-religious institution, and has multi-functions on economic, socio-cultural, physical and environmental aspects.  Regarding this, the efforts are endeavored by government and other institution to maintain the existence of subak in facing modernization and globalization forces.
