Whereas geography, climate and other "natural" factors largely deter-mine the parameters of social and cultural conditions for most of human history. The animals also determine the type of societal engagement like craft and their diet (Singh, 2007). The other idea of possibilistm from infrastructure is very general and suggests that the societies are not mutually exclusive entities, but that they influence each other; in the former, physical form and in the other, behavior, use etc. These experiences are the knowledge basis for ones perceptions and therefore, affects how they interact with others and the world in numerous ways.

And Doyle (2011) says determinism is a theory or doctrine based on the occurrences in nature, or social or psychological phenomena causally determinedby pre-ceding events or natural laws. Adopting all the latest technology being used strategically within the infrastructure and building built environment has made them unique resulting to positive outcome from all the funds and initiatives brought by the Qatar Emir for their landscape vision in spite of environmental pollution, and therefore, improving quality of life, and the quality of the environment in sustaining the needs of the citizens sustainably.

They disprove that man is a master of his environment and not a complete slave of nature; rather they can adapt to it. And from the open desert can be found the scrub communities that have been dominated by Acacia tortilis and Lycium bushes in the area with the dominant shrub called, Zygophyllum qatarense. Compatibilist (Soft Determinism): freedom is compatible with determinism; if freedom is understood as the ability to do what we want, actions caused by our choices or character are free; actions caused by external forces (genetics, culture, upbringing, threats) are not free.
