KKU-FSR project village where a full procedure of farming systems research has been implemented was chosen as case study. This paper is an initial attempt to analyse both agroecosystem and social system properties: productivity, stability, sustainability, autonomy, solidarity and equitability Historical information in combination with data obtained from formal survey, rapid rural appraisal direct observation and various conversion tables were used to gain understanding of the emergent system properties of this village. Throught the historical context, the changes in the system properties of Ban Hin Lad were investigated by dividing them into four phases. The results showed that the relationships between these system properties were very complicated. Changes in one system property may affect another or several others. Even though results obtained in this analysis need further verification, they have generated guidelines for future work which may lead to policy implication as well as agricultural or rural development plan not only in Ban Hin Lad but also for Northeast area.
