Abstract

Abstract This paper examined the planned housing in Yogyakarta City distributed in eight sub-districts, namely Umbulharjo, Tegalrejo, Wirobrajan, Mergangsan, Mantrijeron, Kotagede, Gondokusuman, and Jetis. Planned housing in Yogyakarta City can be classified into a gated community and a non-gated community. They were commonly identified based on the similarity and regularity of the buildings and the road network. The data was taken from their Building Permit (IMB; Izin Mendirikan Bangunan) from the year 2000 – 2019, Google Street View, Pleiades Satellite Imagery of Yogyakarta City in 2018, Google Map, and ArcMap base-map. Data analysis was undertaken by using satellite imagery, map interpretation, and quantitative analysis by using scoring technique to describe the score of typology. Most of the planned housing in Yogyakarta City are classified into Typology II, which had a medium-strength gated community characteristic. The typology was composed based on the physical-geographical and social-economic indicators. Most of them were more than 10 years old and were provided with walls/fences and portals to restrict outsiders’ access. The residents were classified into middle-class based on their social-economic status. Most of the planned housing in Yogyakarta have gated-community characteristics based on these features.
