Abstract	The island of Bali has several traditional Aga villages that survive under the pressures of an intense tourist industry and agricultural changes. In order to understand possible impacts on traditional ethnobotanical knowledge (TEK) in Bali, we interviewed local people living in 13 traditional villages regarding the number of known plants and their uses. We analyzed socioeconomic factors influencing change of such knowledge at both individual (informant) and community (village) level. We identified a total of 149 food and nutraceutical plants being used in the study area. Neither gender, occupation, income, nor level of formal education had a significant effect on TEK. However, informant’s age and village status were found to play an important role in the retention of TEK at an individual level. At the village level, the use of Internet/smart phones was an important predictor of cultural erosion.Pulau Bali memiliki beberapa desa Aga tradisional yang masih bertahan di tengah tekanan pariwisata dan perubahan sistem pertanian yang signifikan. Untuk memahami kemungkinan dampak pada pengetahuan etnobotani tradisional (TEK) di Bali, kami mewawancarai penduduk lokal yang tinggal di tiga belas desa tradisional tentang jumlah dan kegunaan tanaman yang mereka ketahui. Kami menganalisis faktor-faktor sosial ekonomi yang mempengaruhi perubahan pengetahuan etnobotani di tingkat individu (informan) dan masyarakat (desa). Kami mengidentifikasi total 149 tanaman pangan dan nutraceutical yang digunakan di lokasi penelitian. Baik jenis kelamin, pekerjaan, pendapatan, atau tingkat pendidikan formal memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap TEK. Namun, usia informan dan status desa memainkan peran penting dalam mempertahankan TEK pada tingkat individu. Dan di tingkat desa, penggunaan internet/ponsel pintar merupakan prediktor penting dari erosi budaya.
