The results showed that there are two forces actors (stakeholders) in the management of land resources (including water). The government in collaboration with investors and has a role as a player, while Subak and Pakraman have a role on the position of the object. Power relations are played by actors of government is still dominant compared to indigenous institutional Subak and Pakraman. Investors who have the capital strength and enthroned as the ‘king’ always pave the spatial plannings are on ‘profit-seeking’ biggest for himself. Power is seen as a mechanism of domination which is a form of power against the other in a relationship dominated by dominated or powerfull by the powerless. The duality of land governance (including water) between actors is the dualism solution. The duality that lies in the fact, that he could be seen as rules that a principle for action in a wide range of space and time, while it is the result (outcome) and means looping action thus overcoming space and time.

Penelitian dilakukan di Kabupaten Tabanan, Propinsi Bali. Teknik wawancara yang mendalam dan analisis stakeholder sebagai pendekatan penelitian ini. Analisis stakeholder merupakan instrument untuk memahami konteks social dan kelembagaan dari program atau kegiatan proyek. Tujuan dari analisis stakeholder adalah untuk menentukan minat dan kewenangan mereka dalam mencegah konversi lahan pertanian. Hasil memperlihatkan bahwa terdapat dua kekuatan aktor (stakeholder) dalam pengelolaan sumberdaya lahan (termasuk air). Pemerintah berkolaborasi dengan investor dan memiliki peran sebagai pemain, sedangkan subak dan desa pakraman memiliki peran pada posisi objek. Relasi kuasa yang dimainkan oleh aktor pemerintah masih bersifat dominan dibandingkan kelembagaan lokal subak dan desa pakraman. Aktor investor yang memiliki kekuatan modal dan bertahta sebagai ‘raja’ selalu melicinkan perencanaan-perencanaan tata ruang yang memberikan ‘profit seeking’ terbesar bagi dirinya. Kekuasaan dipandang sebagai mekanisme dominasi yang merupakan bentuk kekuasaan terhadap yang lain dalam relasi yang mendominasi dengan yang didominasi atau yang berkuasa dengan yang tidak berdaya. Dualitas tata kelola lahan (termasuk air) antar para aktor merupakan pemecahan dualism tersebut. Dualitas itu terletak dalam fakta, bahwa ia bisa dipandang sebagai aturan yang menjadi prinsip bagi tindakan di berbagai ruang dan waktu, sekaligus ia merupakan hasil (outcome) dan sarana perulangan tindakan yang karenanya mengatasi ruang dan waktu. Dualitas tata kelola lahan (termasuk air) ini menunjukkan bahwa kedepan yang diperlukan adalah menempatkan subak dan desa pakraman pada posisi kekuatan politik yang sejajar dengan desa dinas dan kelembagaan pemerintah lainnya.Kata kunci: kelembagaan lokal (subak, desa pakraman), konversi lahan pertanian, analisis stakeholder, dualitas tata kelola lahan
