Article 26 paragraph 3, stipulates that the Governor and Deputy Governor are not bound by the provisions of two terms of office as stipulated in the Law on regional governance.

Article 31 paragraph (1) states that culture is held to maintain and develop the results of copyright, taste, karsa, and works in the form of values, knowledge, norms, customs, objects, arts, and noble traditions rooted in the DIY community.

Cultural activities that have been realized are the Yogyakarta Art Festival, the improvement of cultural heritage buildings, and most recently the construction of the Kiskendo Goa amphitheater in Kulon Progo.

Article 32 paragraph (1) and paragraph (4) states that the Sultanate and Kadipaten are declared as legal entities with property rights to prebond and non-prabon land in all regencies/cities within the DIY area.

Tanah keprabon adalah tanah yang digunakan untuk bangunan keraton dan sila untuk upacara adat serta kelebisnya. Sementara tanah bukan keprabon adalah tanah kasultan dan kadipaten yang belum ter bound atas hak.

The land can be utilized by the community or institutions through the rights given from the sultanate and the kadipaten in the form of fishing. Land is not pre-bonded, it can be released for public purposes such as government offices, roads, educational facilities, and hospitals.

As a legal entity, the Sultanate and Kadipaten have the authority to manage and utilize the land. However, the purpose of utilizing and managing land must be in accordance with Article 32 paragraph 5, namely for the greatest development of culture, social interests, and community welfare.

Article 41 and Article 42 of the DIY Regulate the provision of Special Funds (DANAis) which are used for the implementation of Special Affairs of DIY. In Article 42 paragraph (1), sources of funds are taken from the APBN.

The Special Funds are intended for and managed by the DIY Regional Government, which allocates and distributes through a transfer mechanism to the regions. Article 42 paragraph (5) states that the Governor's reporting of the implementation of DIY Special Activities is carried out by the Governor to the Government through the Minister at the end of every fiscal year.
