Abstract
Land-use and land-cover change (LUCC) is driven by a combination of:
-
(1)
biophysical factors which determine the capability of land use;
-
(2)
technological and economic considerations which determine the socioeconomic feasibility of land use and
-
(3)
institutional and political arrangements which determine the acceptability of land use (e.g., Barlowe, 1986; Turner et al., 1995).
