Pogung Kidul: Jalan Affandi
Tucked into the lowland plain north of Yogyakarta, Pogung Kidul is a place whose character is shaped by dense urban development and constant local movement. Jalan Affandi passes through this built-up district beside Pasar Demangan, where shops, market activity and motorcycle traffic make the road an important everyday artery. It is named for Affandi, one of Indonesia’s leading modern painters; his former home and museum are elsewhere in Yogyakarta. Pogung Kidul forms part of the wider Yogyakarta urban area, a Javanese centre of universities, markets and the continuing cultural influence of the Yogyakarta Sultanate. Mount Merapi rises north of the city, while the Indian Ocean lies far to the south.
