6. About Krapyak Area, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Yogyakarta City is a city in Indonesia with the population of around 400,000 and the area size of
32.5km2. The city has its “imaginary axis” from Mt Merapi in the north to Indian Ocean in the south,
part of which is called “philosophical axis”: Togu Monument – Malioboro Street – Palace (Kraton) –Kryapak Stage (Panggung Krapyak) (Figure 1). Indeed, every effort has been made to keep theidentity of the city consisted of these urban axes. For example, the renovation of Malioboro Street has
just lunched based on the urban design competition held in 2015.
Under the rapid urbanization, population increase and high development pressure can beobserved in peripheral districts near the ring road including Krapyak Area. The area, which has kept
historical as well as comfortable living environment, particularly in and around noble residences locatedthere, is being dynamically changed (Figure 2).
Where is Krapyak Area going? There is a need to analyze the current physical condition and thetrend of transformation of the district and to propose a vision and a strategy to regenerate urban
residential environment while conserving historic assets.
