Yogyakarta, Administrative region in south-central Java, Indonesia.
The Special Region of Yogyakarta spans 3,133 square kilometers of territory, featuring coastal plains, volcanic slopes, and the Kendang Plateau along the Indian Ocean.
The region gained special administrative status in 1950 following its significant support for Indonesian independence, maintaining its traditional sultanate governance system.
The region preserves classical Javanese traditions through its educational institutions, notably Gadjah Mada University, teaching traditional arts, music, and puppet theater performances.
Transportation networks connect the region through two airports, multiple railway stations, and extensive road systems linking major cities like Bantul and Surakarta.
Mount Merapi, situated in the northern part of the region, continuously enriches the soil with volcanic deposits, creating fertile conditions for agriculture.
