Interaksi Wilayah Pusat Pertumbuhan Melalui Pendekatan Skalogram dan Gravitasi di Wilayah Pesisir Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta

Regional development in Special Region of Yogyakarta is centered on its urban area, namely Kawasan Perkotaan Yogyakarta (KPY/ Yogyakarta Urban Aglomeration Area). This has created regional disparity and other concerns regarding the environmental sustainability in KPY. The new growth center is therefore needed, especially to solve the problem of regional disparity. This research was conducted to identify the district in the south coast of DIY that has the potentiallity to be developed as the new growth center. For this purpose, this research utilizes scalogram analysis combined with the gravity model and demographic analysis. The result shows that Wates District in Kulonprogo Regency has the potentiallity to be developed as the primary growth center in the south coast of DIY. Furthermore, Kretek District in Bantul Regency has the potentiallity to be developed as the secondary growth center. Meanwhile, Saptosari District in Gunungkidul Regency has the potentiallity to be developed as the tertiary growth center. Keywords: grafity, disparity, growth pole, scalogram, regional
