Abstract
Human and community culture invariably move in a dynamic way following the development of human intellection. The only difference is regarding how fast or slow the changes occur. In a context like Nusa Penida, in advance of its development into a tourism destination, its people’s lives depended on the seaweed sector as a mainstay of livelihood. During 2015-2019, it experienced very rapid development in the tourism sector. The development was driven by its tourism potential. As a result, transformation took place in the people’s lives. The main type of data is qualitative data which is supported by quantitative data. The results showed that the socio-cultural transformation in Nusa Penida was caused by two driving factors such as internal and external factors. Internal factors include factors that come from within the community itself, including the community’s desire to change. This is triggered by the existence of very strong external conditions. The production of seaweed farming is decreasing because in turn it is abandoned by farmers. The involvement of the ruling elite related to the Klungkung Regency Government’s policy on tourism and the role of social media as a channel of information is very large in making changes. The changes having occurred can be seen from the development of infrastructure in the socio-cultural sector and the opening of wider new job opportunities.
