Abstract

The increasing development of tourism activities and the increasing number of tourists in the Ubud
Tourism area have resulted in various problems that have an impact on the poor quality ofthe
environment in the Ubud Tourism Area. The most crucial problem is congestion caused by various
things, and other problems are the condition of infrastructure and utility networks, cleanliness of
the area, and limited public green open space. The purpose of this research is to formulate a
recommendation concept for structuring the Ubud Tourism Area which can comprehensively be
a guide in solving the problem of poor environmental quality, especially in dealing with the
adaptation of new habits (new normal) after the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a mixed
method with a descriptive-qualitative analysis method based on policies and relateddocuments.
The results obtained from this study are planning for infrastructure arrangement in the Ubud
Tourism Area: structuring traffic flow and construction of new roads (ring roads and shortcuts),
building parking facilities and the shuttle bus concept, structuring the integrated JalanRaya Ubud,
structuring roadside gardens as a public green open space, and the application of the CHSE
protocol concept in the arrangement of the Ubud Tourism Area in adapting new habitsafter the
Covid-19 pandemic.
