Maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is still high so it can not achieve the MDG's point no.5 of maternal deaths. Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in a country can be predicted from the capacity of health personnel for early detection in pregnant women, maternity and childbirth. Maternal deaths due to pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum actually been much discussed, but until now, the government is still not able to accelerate the decline in MMR as expected due to various factors. This, encourage researchers to conduct research aimed at finding risk factors for maternal mortality. Methods: This study used a descriptive analytic method with cross sectional retrospective. This study uses data from the health service Bantul and obtained 59 research subjects maternal deaths in 2010-2014. Then performed a descriptive analysis of the risk factors for maternal mortality. Results: Complications of pregnancy there is a 69% incidence of maternal deaths suffered more than that there is no pregnancy complications. Childbirth complications are 55.9% incidence of maternal deaths suffered more than no delivery complications. Puerperal complications are experienced 49.2% incidence of maternal deaths less than no puerperal complications. Age 20-35 years are 57.6% incidence of maternal deaths suffered more than those aged> 35 years. Parity <1 there is a 55.9% incidence of maternal deaths suffered more than parity 2-4. Antenatal Care ≥4 contained 76.3% incidence of maternal deaths suffered more than Antenaral Care ≤4. Delay references contained 71.2% incidence of maternal deaths suffered more than avoid delays referral. Mother education ≥9 year there were 66.1% incidence of maternal deaths suffered more than education Mother <9 years. Mothers who work are 81.4% incidence of maternal deaths suffered more than mothers who do not work. Conclusions: The risk factors contained in the determinant near, far and determinants among determinants have contributed individually and together in the incidence of maternal deaths
