Around the end of the 18th century, the region of Badung which was previously called Nambangan had been established as a powerful kingdom similar to other kingdoms in Bali. The Badung Regency has a very long history which had been led by the Puri Denpasar, Puri Pemecutan, Puri Kesiman, Puri Satria, and Puri Jro Kuta. From an administrative point of view, the political powers of these places located in Denpasar have been lessened since the war of Puputan Badung which occurred on 20 September 1906. However their image as a center for traditional and cultural activities still remains strong up to the present day. Entering the year of 1992, 0nm 27 February 1992, the city of Denpasar was separated from Badung to be a special town.
Located between 8 degrees of southern meridian and 116 degrees of the eastern meridian or exactly at the heart of Bali, Badung regency has an area of about 41.852 hectares stretching out from the center of the island to its south end, making a shape of a sword. The area has a population of approximately 332,000 living across 6 districts with 40 administrative villages. It respect to local customs, the Badung Regency can be divided into 119 traditional villages.
The high population rate of the Badung Regency which is 720 per square kilometers on average, the spread of the population is yet not well organized. The southern side of Badung is more densely populated which is a major area of tourist accommodation facilities compared to the northern side of Badung which is relatively isolated with agriculture as its main source of living. Kuta, Kerobokan, Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa and the area of Bukit Jimbaran which are all located in the southern side are major areas for tourist accommodation facilities which have big revenue for the Badung regency compared to other regencies.
If these areas are the centers for tourist accommodation facilities, the northern side of Badung regency is a destination of the nature interest such as white water rafting. The people of Badung who welcome the tourism industry as an alternative way to earn living has developed Badung to be an attractive tourist destination.
