Land & zoning
RTRW (provincial/regency spatial plan)
RTRW (план территории провинции/округа) · Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah
RTRW (Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah) is the 20-year general spatial plan adopted by regional law (Perda). Bali has a provincial RTRW (Perda Bali 2/2023) and regency plans, including Gianyar, where Ubud sits. It divides the island into Kawasan Pariwisata (tourism), Kawasan Permukiman (residential), agricultural and protected land, and infrastructure corridors.
RTRW is the top layer. It shows direction but does not answer for a specific plot, which needs the detailed RDTR and a KKPR confirmation. The RTRW level is where the "sacred zones" around temples, coastal and river setbacks, and Article 96 of Perda 2/2023 (allowing tourism use inside residential zones under conditions) are fixed.
As a rule of thumb, if the seller shows only an RTRW map and a zone colour, that is an illustration, not a check.
