Abstract: Population growth has positive and negative impacts in Indonesia. One of the negativeimpacts of high population growth is that the government will need help with regional needs relatedto food, housing, facilities, infrastructure, etc., if it is not balanced with quality human resources. Thisimpact can be minimized by projecting the population and analyzing population growth trends in thatregion so that the government can anticipate by developing strategies to prepare for needs in thatregion in the next few years. In this paper, we use the Malthusian and Verhulst Growth Models tomodel population data. This paper aims to estimate the population of Bantul Regency using theMalthusian and Verhulst Growth Models and compare the two models. The results show that theMalthusian Model is more accurate than Verhulst Model.
