GENERAL
INFORMATION
The regency of Badung extends in a narrow ribbon from the central
uplands of the island down to the Bukit or Nusa Dua Peninsula
in the south. Its shape and territory which does not comprise
the city of Denpasar, Sanur included, whose municipality has
an independent status are determined by a distributor network
of rivers and streams fed from the Plaga rain-catchment area
in the north. Badung Regency, covering the areas of Nusa Dua,
Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian and the airport, is the
richest regency with tourist facilities and activities.
The Bukit Peninsula is strikingly different from the fertile
volcanic plain of the North; it consists of a limestone plateau
overlooking the sea by 70 - 100 m. Kuta and Jimbaran are located
westward of the peninsula, Sanur eastward, while the resorts
of Nusa Dua occupy the easternmost tip of the peninsula. |
