<![CDATA[This study examines how urban-rural development has transformed interaction patterns between urban and rural areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing PODES data from 2000 and 2018. The coefficient of variation (CV) was used to measure disparities in education, health, and economic resources, while regression analysis identified key factors influencing rural well-being. The results reveal a structural shift from service-based development to an economy-driven transformation, where income diversification, access to Rural Credit Banks (BPRs), and digital infrastructure (BTS) play a central role. Primary education facilities are relatively well distributed, but disparities persist in access to secondary education. Overall, rural development in Yogyakarta has evolved toward an inclusive and interconnected pattern emphasizing financial inclusion, digital connectivity, and spatial integration, highlighting the need for policies that balance economic integration with environmental sustainability.]]>
