The paper aims to identify the phenomenon of urban sprawl and its implications that occur in the City of Yogyakarta. The methods used are descriptive analysis and spatial analysis through secondary data. The results of this paper include the symptoms or characteristics of urban sprawl found in the City of Yogyakarta, from 14 subdistricts there are 3 subdistricts that have a high potential urban sprawl namely Wirobrajan, Mantrijeron and Kotagede subdistricts. This paper also describes the identification of urban sprawl in City of Yogyakarta based on existing characeristics. It is based on the CBD map found in this study. Furthermore, the implications that occur cause some urban problems such as narrowing of land, high population pressure, change of land use from agricultural land to residential land and shops, land support capacity and declining availability, increased population migration, increased urbanization rate, soaring land invention prices, development projects that are increasingly spreading and developing economic and industrial centers.
