Abstract
The Northeast Thailand Upland Social Forestry (NTUSF) project was initiated in May 1985 by a grant from the Ford Foundation to the Faculty of Forestry, Kasetsart University. The project was designed as a collaborative, inter-disciplinary research program to examine social, economic, and land use changes in upper watershed areas of Northeast Thailand. It was also conceived of as an effort to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and a systems approach to the way these complex issues are conceived, examined and analyzed.  A medium term goal was to use the knowledge gained from case study research to inform planning for a pilot program in social forestry interventions. This executive summary outlines the goals, methodology, and research study sites for this project.
