The growth of urbanization in Yogyakarta area has a significant impact on environmental degradation. One of the indications is the environmental carrying capacity and environmental settlement quality that tend to decrease. The research was aimed to analyze the environmental carrying capacity of the settlement land resources and water resources as the development base of sustainable settlement in Yogyakarta Urban Area (YUA). The research method used a studio analysis based on primary and secondary data and available mathematical formulas. The results showed that the carrying capacity of settlement land resources in YUA reached 2.89 or conditionally-save. In addition, the analysis of water resources carrying capacity in YUA indicated a conditionally-save result with the value of 2.44. Land resources carrying capacity is considered as save when reaching 22.73%, conditionally save when the value is 60.60%, and overshoot when it reaches 16.67%. Meanwhile, water resources carrying capacity is entitled save if the value is 15.15%, conditionally-save if it reaches 74.24%, and overshoot if reaching 10.61%.
