1. Natural Variability
The interaction of natural environment with human decisions changes land use pattern.However some natural changes also leads to change in land use pattern. For eg: Some wet conditions leads to development of rangeland but with sudden drought or drier conditions, it gets converted to barren land.
2.Economic and Technological factors
Economic policies like subsidise on land, altering prices or taxes etc. also influence the decision making process among humans leading to change in land use pattern. The advancment of technology has also converted land into agriculture land or subsistence agriculture into intensive agriculture etc......☺
