About Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta is the capital city of the Yogyakarta Special Region
(one of the thirty four provinces of Indonesia). The word
"special" represents the characteristic/ uniqueness of the
province, where up to date, the Sultan, who is the King of
Mataram Kingdom (established in 1755 which Yogyakarta
act as its capital) automatically become the Yogyakarta
provincial governor.
Yogyakarta Special Region which is populated by more than
3,000,000 people is the second tourist destination in
Indonesia after Bali and is renowned for its education,
culture and tourism. There are more than 25 universities
including Universitas Gadjah Mada, the largest University in
Indonesia that was founded in 1949. The universities attract
a large number of students from all over the country which
make Yogyakarta a miniature of Indonesia.
In term of culture, Yogyakarta is backed up by a lot of
heritages as well as schools of art. The city is the home of
wayang (leather puppet) and gamelan orchestra which are
outstanding traditional performance/music that could not
only be enjoyed, but also be learnt by tourists. Yogyakarta is
also proud of its batik wear, which is a traditional dress
suitable for various events, both casual and formal such as
meetings, parties, etc.
The physiographical condition is unique, comprising the
active volcano of Mt. Merapi at the north, Indian Ocean at
the south, and in between is Sultan Palace, forming a straight
line dividing the province into two equal sizes. Prambanan (a
Hindu temple) and Borobudur (a Buddhist temple) located at
the adjacent province (Central Java Province) are two
symbols of the world wonders. At the south, Yogyakarta is
treasured with beautiful sandy beach and dunes. The daily
high waves that surf on shore await for surfers to enjoy.
In addition to a successful congress and further network and
collaboration with your old and new colleagues, we hope
that you also enjoy the culture, the heritage, the nature and
the sun of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Just take a look of some
places of interest near and within the City of Yogyakarta
below.
The Sultan palace is a favorite destination for both national
and international tourists. The palace was built in 1755
and was a Kingdom until 1950 after which the kingdom
was unified with Indonesia by the Sultan will.
This 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple is the largest
Buddhist temple in the world you should not miss.
This large and beautiful temple was built at the
same century as Borobudur. The temple is also used as the
background of a famous open air Ramayana Ballet Opera
approximately 300 m to the west of the temple.
Mount Merapi offers a lot of interesting objects such as
the remaining lava that buried houses and the Merapi
Museum that worth a visit.
This beautiful sand dunes beach is truly unique as it is the
only one in Indonesia. The dunes was said to be dynamic
due to seasonal changes of the wind. You may also enjoy
the sun set or sun rise along this beach.
THE SULTAN PALACE (6 km)
BOROBUDUR TEMPLE (40 km)
PRAMBANAN TEMPLE (15 km)
MERAPI AND LAVA TOUR (20 km)
PARANGTRITIS BEACH (25 km)

The cave is inside a karst where underground river will
float you down into and along the cave for about 350 m in
a rubber boat. An experience of wonder once in a life time.

Dear colleagues,
We cordially invite you to join the 21st congress of the IAHR-
APD to be held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The theme of the
congress is Multi-Perspective Water for Sustainable
Development. We believe that as a natural resource, water
should be conserved, protected, and enhanced properly
whilst its possible hazard is mitigated. It requires efforts that
are better accomplished through comprehensive multi-
perspective approaches. We encourage all researchers and
engineers related to Hydro-Environment to contribute to the
endeavor through the congress.
The 21st IAHR-APD congress will be the third following two
successful IAHR-APD congress in 1982 and 1998 hosted in
Indonesia. We will do our best to make the incoming
congress of 2018 be more successful and memorable. The
congress will be hosted by Universitas Gadjah Mada in
collaboration with The Indonesian Association of Hydraulic
Engineers (HATHI) and supported by a number of Indonesian
universities.
Please keep in touch and register yourself in our website:
so that we will be able to
provide you with updates.
