Pogung Kidul: Jombor Underpass - Jombor Roundabout - Jalan Arah Wates/Purworejo
Pogung Kidul lies on the Yogyakarta plain, beneath the southern slopes of Mount Merapi and at the northern edge of Yogyakarta’s continuous urban development. Jombor Roundabout is an important road junction in this part of the metropolitan area, distributing traffic between the northern ring road and routes heading west towards Wates and Purworejo. The Jombor Underpass separates through-traffic from movements around the intersection, giving this corridor a distinctly urban scale. Administratively in Sleman Regency, the area is closely connected with Yogyakarta, the historic seat of the Yogyakarta Sultanate. The Kraton remains the ceremonial centre of that court tradition, while universities, commerce and residential districts now extend far beyond the old city core.
