This paper suggests integrated teaching approaches of System Dynamics methods for socioeconomic analysis, and Geographic Information System for spatial analysis, in examining, evaluating and planning the limits to urban growth and urbanization of city in the course of Urban Planning by taking Bangkok city as a case study. The course if offered for graduate students in the field of Social Sciences at Kasetsart University. Urban Dynamic Model applied in the study includes interactions of population, capital investment of housing, industry and transportation; economic development in terms of gross provincial product and loan interest rates, and land subsystems. The model aims to illustrate problems of shortage and ineffectiveness of City Planning Act which could not control disorderly urbanization and the over supplies of capital investment of housing and industry. Historical patterns of spatial settlements interacting with changes of a socioeconomic behaviour were illustrated. The policy revising the City Planning Act to limit clearly floor area ratio for building construction within the city in relation to land use categories - commercial areas, residential areas, industrial areas - generates the desired urban growth and urbanization.
