Ban (alternately Desa Ban) is a village in Kubu District, Karangasem Regency, Bali, Indonesia.

History

In 2015, its population was measured at 11,858 people. A 2018 earthquake destroyed the homes of many villagers, forcing them to live in tents.[3]

Geography

Ban has a number of smaller villages (sometimes called hamlets) contained within it.[4] [5] Two mountains, Mt. Abang and Mt. Agung, are close by, and until the turn of the 21st century, the entire village had one dirt road for transportation. A village project to make nine cement roads was expected to be completed by the end of the 2019 calendar year.[6] Areas on the outskirts of the village have been targeted by outside relief agencies as a spot for bamboo reforestation.[7]

Culture

A local market, open once every three days, serves as a commerce center for the surrounding area. The local people speak Bahasa and Balinese.
