The Tourism Model for Colonial Architecture in Singaraja City, Bali's Old Town

Singaraja, an old city in Bali, is rich in cultural value, particularly for its Dutch Lines. When the Dutch Colonial Government acquired control of Bali in 1846, Singaraja became its center hub, leading the construction of different offices, commercial structures, governmental services, and houses. Using these urban components as tourist attractions is a critical step in preserving these ancient structures. We hope to educate tourists about the city's rich royal, colonial, and independent past by conducting informative tours of historical sites. This novel method has the potential to transform local tourism. To do this, we will utilize a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches to gather and evaluate both numerical and narrative data. Our research revealed five critical features from Kevin Lynch's theory—roads, boundaries, districts, nodes, and landmarks—that contribute to the perception of urban structures as possible destinations for colonial architectural tourism. The relevance of this research is to serve as a stakeholder in the formulation of policies linked to the sustainability and enrichment of the Colonial Architecture Tourism Model, which may operate as a historical attraction in Singaraja City, Bali's old town region.
