Social bonds that occur between indigenous villages with people in Bali, are considered to be one of the effective keys in various COVID-19 prevention efforts. Therefore the presence of indigenous villages has an important role in organizing its citizens in observing health protocols. Around the end of March 2020, the Governor of Bali I Wayan Koster along the Assembly of the Village of the Bali Province agreed to form the Gotong Royong Preventive COVID-19 based village. Satgas Gotong Royong in the indigenous village environment has a task to empower all villagers to gotong royong together in preventing the spread of COVID-19 either in the 'scale' or jasmani / real and in 'niskala' or spiritual / not real. In real tasks, indigenous peoples in indigenous villages carry out various socialization efforts, education, prevention, supervision and coaching related to COVID-19. In the implementation, Pecalang or Bali custom security officers played as a cutting edge in supervision and coaching carried out together with a number of related elements such as TNI, Polri and Linmas. In his everyday, Pecalang with other officers routinely conducts patrols in the indigenous villages each to ensure the situation in the conducive region according to the rules set. For example, in the supervision function, the combined security team will ask for a business place that still opens beyond the rules of operational hours that have been set to immediately close its business location. Included if there is still found citizens who gather outside the house, they will also be asked to immediately disperse themselves. A number of indigenous villages in Bali has also taken various steps as well as implementing sanctions as a coaching effort to society, because after doing various supervisory efforts carried out in the manner of persuasiveness, still found citizens who still violate the rules of prevention of the spread of COVID-19.
For example, the village of Adat Jimbaran, Badung Regency, Bali. The custom village imposes indigenous sanctions in the form of work to clean the environment for three consecutive days for residents who violate the rules. "In the application of these custom sanctions, we still conduct coaching and do not perform violence or intimidation actions. The purpose is only to provide a jera effect so that people who violate do not repeat their mistakes back and mistakes that have been carried out by other residents, "said Bendesa or Head of the Village of Adat Jimbaran, I Made Budiarta.
After the custom sanction is imperative and crowded discussed in social media, Made Budiarta said the violation of COVID-19 health protocols in the region decreased drastically. The village of Adat Intaran in Sanur area, Denpasar City, also takes the same steps to break the spread chain of COVID-19. In the region, residents who still do not comply with the use of masks, must be prepared undergoing sanctions in the form of social fines by cleaning the environment in the village area of the Intaran indigenous village for three consecutive hearts or replaced with a five kilogram rice fine that can be taken into Rp50 thousand. For the supervision, Pecalang along with local village youths will be kept at various points in the indigenous village to check whether citizens and riders who cross through the village area have been wearing masks. Before the sanction is applied, the indigenous villages have also done socialization by sharing masks to the people who still have not worn and asked them to do 'push-up' as a jera effect. With the efforts of gotong royong carried out by various parties especially in the indigenous village area, it is expected that the COVID-19 pandemi spreads are not more widespread and the activity of society including tourism activity in the island of Gods today the middle experienced perfection can recover and normal return.
