The results show that out-migration events in households have positive relations to LU/LCC. When households are subject to out-migrations, their agricultural land parcels are more likely to result in changes in LULC. On the other hand, agricultural cultivations by households will reduce changes in LULC. There is less likely to be changes in LULC in households with a concentration of agricultural occupations than in households of non-agricultural occupations.Mahidol UniversitySocial SciencesArticleSCOPUS
