This article aims to provide planners and policy makers with a better understanding about potential impacts of land policy on the shaping of hybrid rural-urban development patterns and their effects on resilience enhancement of urban systems. It examines the impacts of diverse development policies applied to two selected areas in the Bangkok metropolitan region (BMR). Preliminary results show that the customary land policy, which encourages small-landholdings, is likely to bring more positive impacts regarding resilience enhancement to the urban system than the modernised scheme, which promotes large-landholdings. This is because the hybrid rural-urban development patterns resulting from the customary land policy tend to generate a better environment to cope with the change, which prevents the urban system to shift to undesired stages. This is by enhancing the capability of the urban system to absorb disturbances and to retain essential conditions while undergoing changes, as well as to learn and to adapt to the changes.
