The essence of progress achieved by the Indonesia shows that the development of national character in this global era cannot be separated from the traditional cultural values aspect which are in harmony with the Indonesian society’s characteristics, especially Yogyakarta people.

Exploring the traditional values of Yogyakarta people is a strategic effort in building the nation’s character on the way to more mature progress in the millennium century.
