In line with the aforementioned zoning, Julah Village is located in East Buleleng, covering an area of ​​approximately 4.70 km² or 470 ha. Julah Village is approximately 5 km from the Tejakula District capital, while the distance from the Regency capital is approximately 28 km.

Julah Village is divided into three hamlets: Kawanan, Kanginan, and Batu Gambir. Julah Village, located in a coastal area, is a stretch of dry land, known as dry fields. These dry fields stretch southward at an increasingly steep slope. The edges of these fields are used for residential areas. Behind the settlements are mountains. This similar topographic structure makes Julah Village slope northward with an average slope of 0.35°. Ravines appear to be present to the west and east of the mountains. Rivers dot the base, but they dry up during the dry season. One river that flows through Julah Village is the Song River (Source: Julah Village Statistics 2008).

Julah Village is affected by monsoon winds, resulting in a tropical climate with a distinct separation between the rainy and dry seasons. Rainfall is generally high for four months, followed by a dry season for the following eight months. Rainfall in Julah Village averages approximately 1,092 mm annually. Based on the above, Julah Village is categorized as a savanna area. This is further supported by the ecosystem, which is covered by expanses of dry, barren land. This area is abundant with palm trees, hence the name “palm palm savanna”.

During the dry season, the rivers dry up. During the rainy season, the rivers only fill with water or can even flood. Along the coast of Julah Village, there are numerous springs for drinking water. While typically located in the lowlands, Julah Village is characterized by houses clustered in specific locations, located not too far from dry fields, to facilitate monitoring of the dry fields and the livestock raised there. Because the area has low rainfall, Julah Village does not employ a rice paddy farming system; instead, it employs dryland farming, cultivating crops such as corn, cassava, peanuts, papaya, rambutan, mango, and others. In addition to dryland farming, Julah Village also has plantations, such as coconut, coffee, and cloves. Considering the explanation above, among the several types of plants that are sources of commodities in Julah Customary Village, coffee plantations are the largest compared to other plantations. The area of ​​coffee plantations is 55 ha. This is in contrast to the area of ​​other plantations which ranges from 0.5 to 37 ha. Although coffee plantations are on the largest land, in terms of yield, cocoa is the commodity that provides the highest income in Julah Customary Village.
