In addition, the social experience of change (that is, the human impacts) can also prompt
people to undertake other behaviour that leads to further social change processes.
For example, the negative human impacts (experiences) associated
with unemployment can activate the social change process of rural to urban
migration in search of work. Social change processes can also provoke biophysical
changes. Economic developments which increase the number of
tourists in a particular area can have a serious influence on land use and
water quality. This, in turn, can have indirect human impacts through a
reduction in agricultural production and subsequently on income level for
smallholder farmers.
