BIOPORI SEBAGAI IMPLEMENTASI AJARAN TRI HITA KARANA

Abstract

This study aims to examine the application of biopore infiltration holes as an implementation of the Tri Hita Karana teachings, a concept of balance and harmony in human life with the environment, society, and spirituality. Biopore infiltration holes are a simple technology designed to enhance water absorption into the soil, reduce the risk of flooding, and improve soil fertility through natural processes. The implementation of biopore infiltration holes in the context of Tri Hita Karana reflects efforts to maintain balance between humans and nature (Palemahan), create social harmony (Pawongan), and support environmental sustainability as a form of devotion to God (Parahyangan). This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach in communities applying biopore technology in Bali. The results indicate that the application of biopore infiltration holes not only provides ecological benefits but also strengthens the community's spiritual and social awareness in environmental conservation. Thus, biopore technology can be considered a tangible form of practicing Tri Hita Karana teachings, relevant and beneficial for environmental sustainability and community welfare.
