Abstract

By entering those elements, new models in the dynamic system will be obtained and it concluded that indigenous institution is an aspect that should be taken into the modeling of spatial planning in a region or area so that the problems of food security, land conversion can be eliminated as early as possible and obtainable alternatives policies could be taken by policy makers for each region.

Spatial planning processes are often faced with problems no matter how good and perfect the spatial plans are, but to make it happen there are always be the selection of priority operational steps. Many factors must be considered integrally and synergistically in spatial use, for example, components of natural resources, artificial resources, the environment, and the technical components and forming the other regions. The use of dynamic systems in developing regions has several advantages, including the improvement of the territorial dimension, facilitated of participatory process, anticipatory networks of future scenarios, and innovation in public policy arrangement. A model of sustainable tourism in Tabanan showed that local institutional aspects (Subak) became one of the driving force key in reducing land conversion. It is necessary to do the expansion of the indigenous institutional aspects, especially in the aspect of granting autonomy for Subak in spatial planning and evaluation in the tourism area which became a shelter for the local institutions, includes not only the autonomy management of water irrigation.
