40% of land used for the airport belong to the Pakualaman principality, the rest belonging to local communities. The location is in the Témon district, between the beaches of Congot and Glagah (which covers the village of Palihan, the village of Sindan, the village of Jangkaran and the village of Glagah) ^{[ 3 ] , [ 4 ]} .

The residents concerned came to learn about the construction of the airport in 2011. The regional government and the related offices, PT Angkasa Pura I, and the National Foncière (BPN) of Kulon Progo Regency have ensured the dissemination of development of the airport in 2014. The rejection of affected people appeared in the media since the event during socialization. The reason why people reject the airport is that its construction will absorb the land that constitute their livelihood as an aircraft. They also mentioned environmental problems linked to the proposed site as well as security problems, due to the high risk of tsunamis and other natural disasters in the region ^{[ 5 ]} . In addition, there are few historic and frightening places for the local community with the airport development area. The rejection of the development of the airport began with the creation of Wahana Tri Tunggal (WTT). Later, some of its members trained the community association for the refusal of the evictions of Kulonporogo (PWPP-KP). Initially, the attitude of unconditionally refusing has become the principle of WTT vis-à-vis the airport, until it finally accepts construction provided that there is a re-evaluation of the assets of the buildings, of the factories and other auxiliary installations. In the meantime, from the formation of the PWPP-KP so far, the attitude of refusing unconditionally persists ^{[ 6 ]} . In July 2018 86 families had always refused to sell their land for the development of the airport ^{[ 7 ]} .

The November 28, 2017 , the President of the Indonesian Ombudsman asked for a delay to empty the land of residents, as they led an investigation into the possibility of poor administration in the process. The Indonesian National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) said that the treatment of citizens in the airport conflict area is relatively good compared to the conflicts of many other areas characterized by more complex conflict levels ^{[ 8 ]} . At the same time, the Human Rights Commission considers that human rights violations have been committed and that it is not necessary to abolish the land occupied by residents ^{[ 9 ]} .

The airport will be connected to the city center of Yogyakarta by a toll road and a railway line ^{[ ten ]} . For the moment, there is no direct railway line. From Wojo station in Purworejo Kabupaten, the closest for the moment, passengers will use a shuttle service. The old Kedundang station, located 6 km from the airport, will be renovated ^{[ 11 ]} .
