The next town north of Legian, Seminyak is more upmarket with mostly luxury accommodation and fashionable high-end restaurants and bars. Seminyak is also the high end spa and boutique shopping capital of Bali. Development has occurred at an astonishing pace, and as well as absorbing all green space which formerly separated Seminyak from Legian, it is now almost impossible to determine where Seminyak ends and the nearby villages of Oberoi, Petitenget, Umalas, Canggu and Kerobokan begin.
Bali’s southern part has many offerings that the northern part may not have. Obviously, these hotels are some of the finest across the length and breadth of Bali. A small village called Oberoi, located near the Seminyak village, attracts tourists owing to its cultural richness and natural beauty. Thanks to tourism developments in Bali, Oberoi has become a famous tourist spot in Bali. Not to expect city life here, you can explore the simple lives of people in the small village adjoining Seminyak. Oberoi and other villages near Seminyak thrive on Indonesian handicraft business. Unlike Kuta (which is fast paced and crowded), Oberoi is a peaceful place where you can even hear the chirp of birds clearly. Interestingly, this area has more computers than any other place in Bali.
For instance, the Pura Peti Tenget temple near Oberoi. This temple faces the ocean. The beach-side ceremonies held near the temple offer a spectacular view of the Indian Ocean. The high end hotels and lounges around Oberoi redefine luxury. It is hard to believe that this peaceful southern area of Bali has more up market hotels and accommodations than north Bali. There are two major beaches near Oberoi- Seminyak Beach and Petitenget Beach. Both these beaches have grey sand extending across miles and miles. These beaches are known to be frequented by the Who’s Who of the Fashion and Movie Industry.
Most Villas and hotels near Oberoi have in-house spa service to pamper your body. The small designer stores and boutiques of Seminyak are just a few minutes away from Oberoi. You can explore the Bintang Supermarket to find high end household commodities. The Seminyak Square is famous for designer shops, small restaurants, and bookshops. Many backpackers come to Oberoi to explore its untold stories. The beautiful plantations and handicrafts of Oberoi leave the tourists dumbstruck. Staying at Oberoi or Seminyak villas may be an expensive affair. That is why many visitors spend the day at Oberoi, and then head to Kuta to their hotels. Many hotels provide shuttle bus service between Oberoi and Kuta. Depending on your budget, you can stay at a villa in Oberoi or Kuta. However, the accommodations in Oberoi are superior compared to the ones in Kuta. The Ngurah Rai International airport is the nearest airport to Oberoi. It is an hour’s drive from Oberoi and Seminyak.

Road and drainage projects make trafic jam in kuta and legian
Kuta and Legian hard throbbing like a heart pacemaker. In fact, this is the beach and shopping center on the island of Bali. Increasingly, more and more crowded both by sea and their visitors who attend for work or as a tourism entrepreneur. Density of the area had complained of various circles.
Complaint after complaint about Kuta seems wise should be addressed. No one if foreign or domestic tourists complained when walking along Jalan Legian for the last 2 years has been the streets in the region is still in the repair total.
One of the project foreman said that the improvement was already running two years because of adjustments to sewer as well as the arrangement of the pavement in Legian and Kuta . "It is rather long because of the channel under the once", he explained.
Badung area is utilizing the slope pattern to dispose of waste. To be able to flow smoothly, the automatic channel depth of waste in the area of Kuta and Legian become one of the most deeply.
The store owner along the road began to fret with the project because their incomes decrease. One manager claimed descent beach clothing store visits to his shop. "Dust ruin our merchandise and our doors are forced shut. As a result, employees had a lot of pain because the air conditioner continues to cause us pain", she exclaimed. Something similar is justified others merchants shop who obviously do not have room in his stall door.
This channel improvement plan led to many complaints but the adjustments are the core of this project. As the heart of Kuta beach in Bali activities increasingly in demand. The number of humans increases and infrastructure must be improved and adjusted.
The road along the Legian and Kuta will be adjusted, especially the narrow width of the sidewalk. Later became wide and beautiful sidewalks on both sides. The road was rather narrow but still smooth because there will be no vehicle parking disepanjangnya. Apparently the central parking lot will be made to the vehicle thousands of employees working in the service sector and trade in this dense region.
Ironically, while buffeted by strong grievances, Kuta beach visitors, either tourists or domestic remained abundant. Congestion does not end their tour agenda. Taiwan tourists claimed that the atmosphere a bit chaotic but everyone was expected in the country of hundreds of millions, he explained.
By sacrificing a little time to complain about, apparently the city and provincial governments are cleaning in order to comfort in the days to come in the area of Kuta and Legian tourist felt that the number of visits increasing from ten countries that make up the largest traffic statistics. Japan was slightly decreased, but nine other countries increased in the last ten months according to the BPS Province of Bali.

Urban Live Caracteristic
Socioeconomic Coatings
The difference in level of education and social status can lead to a heterogeneous state. Heterogeneity can continue and spur competition, especially if the population in many growing cities and with the schools there was a variety of diverse specialties in the field of the type of skills or livelihood.
Individualism
Differences socio-economic status or cultural nature can lead to "individualism". Properties of the pure mutual cooperation has been very rarely can be found in the city. Direct face-to-face interaction and in the size of a long time been rare, due to communication by telephone has become the interface that is no longer a luxury. Moreover, because the education level of urban residents was high enough, then all problems solved cultivated individually or privately, without asking for consideration of other families.
Social Tolerance
The flurry of each resident within the city that is high enough to reduce its attention to others. If this is too much then they will be able to have a nature indifferent or have less social tolerance. In the city this problem can be overcome with the institution or foundation engaged in areas of society.
Social Distance
Population density in cities is in general may be quite high. Usually exceeds 10,000 people/km2. So, physically on the road, in the market, in stores, in theaters and at other places adjacent to the town but far apart in terms of social, because of different needs and interests.
Social Coatings
Differences in status, interests and circumstances of city life conditions have an influence on different scoring systems of the symptoms that arise in the city. Assessment can be based on economic background, education and philosophy. Changes and variations may occur, because there is no exact structure of the same city or state.
One thing that needs to be added as an explanation is an understanding of the term "neighborhood". In the sense of "neighborhood" contained elements of physical and social, because the elements are woven into a single unit is a unit of life in urban governance. Elements such as school buildings, building shopping malls, markets, open areas for recreation, railways, automobile roads and so on. These elements lead to the activity and bustle of everyday life. So, the real "neighborhood" This is not a new thing for us. In the city there are many units or groups of "neighborhood", because "neighborhood" is limited by certain criteria, among others:
A unit of "neighborhood" can be formed if there was braided and social interaction among fellow townspeople. Unit or group of "neighborhood" can occur by itself, but can also occur with an urban development plan, by plotting the areas of special living environment and meet the requirements of practical and fun. The increase in both city dwellers from the city dwellers as well as from current residents who come from outside the city resulted in the increase in residential housing, which means reduction in vacant areas within the city. Increasing number of city kids who become more and more also required school buildings. Increased student and the student also means increasing the number of bicycles and motorized two-wheeled vehicles. The shops. Food stall or restaurant continues to increase so that more and accelerate endless vacant lots in the city. The city had to be expanded gradually away from the city.

- This environmental achievement is limited to the distance between someone with a shop or school, for example, can be done by foot.
- If someone is forced to use the vehicle, then the job does not need to go through heavy traffic and crowded.
- In terms of population, then one unit of "neighborhood" is inhabited by 5,000 to 6,000 people. For places in Indonesia this figure would not be the same and will probably show a larger number.
