The biggest thing is following food and water access. The agricultural revolution was a massive change in this because it allowed people to create large excesses of food and store it against seasons with less to offer.
In places with stable water supplies and climates warm enough to keep animals present and plants growing year round, especially places with good fishing to supplement, people could be more permanent without having to necessarily farm as we recognize it, though they might certainly help local food sources along.
