Abstract
This study is the preliminary research of spatial inequality in Central Java. The regional differences are substantively irrepressible. The perception of north-south regions of Java exists and persist. As many of north regions have specialized in non-agriculture, the northern had been assumed as dynamic regions. This assumption has led to the differentiation of regional policy focused on north-south unbalance development. This study aims to evaluate the spatial pattern of Central Java and Yogyakarta based on economic growth from 1990-2010. The pattern indicates the relation of urban and its surrounding and no longer the contest of north and south region. Some current facts define that spread effects from the prime regions is beneficial for its surroundings. In this study, Semarang, Solo, and Yogyakarta, has been identified as the predominant cities toward their surroundings creating a cluster of growth pattern. The nearby surroundings obtain economic growth spill-over from those cities. On the other side, the regions locate away from prime cities have experienced lower growth. Consequently, the spatial inequality may occur across the regions.
