When a community’s life, with its cultural-social level, generates a kind of spatial pattern in formation, there are two processes that move in parallel: the first generates differences in the pattern of the local network system and reflects the specificity of cultural differences in the place; The second seeks to generate more inclusive community structures.
Consequently, social and cultural forces drive the wheel of architecture towards its local concepts, when it places its local practical imprint on its spaces, by defining its geometric forms and generating a distinctive pattern of differences in local models.
عندما تولد حياة مجتمع، بمستواها الثقافي ـ الاجتماعي، نوع من النمط المكاني في التشكيل، فأن هناك عمليتان تتحركان بصورة متوازية: الأولى تولد الاختلافات في نمط منظومة الشبكات المحلية وتعكس خصوصية الاختلافات الثقافية في المكان؛ والثانية تسعى إلى توليد هياكل مجتمعية أكثر شمولية. بالتالي تقود القوى الاجتماعية والثقافية، عجلة العمارة، نحو مفاهيمها المحلية، عندما تضع بصمتها العملية المحلية على فضاءاتها، عن طريق تحديد أشكالها الهندسية، وتولد نمطا مميزا من الاختلافات في نماذج محلية.
Socio-cultural values that determine vernacular characteristics are surely very important.

I think local/vernacular architecture identifies the culture. If you have something with your past and future, if you want to produce something related to you this is the way you can choose as an architect. I am not saying others wrong, I am saying this is my way :)
I can feel the life, thoughts, and emotions by looking at the local architecture. This could be something we wanted to show from us.
So, my answer to what determines the vernacular architecture is the culture, needs, and materials.
All the point so far are relevant. I like your own answer, which is theoretical, in that patterns are formed from forces, which for me are like the patterns of nature in the formation of stars and our universe. At a local level, definitely culture, but within this is history and a form of glue, that is local traditions, resistance to change, preservation of what is existing, regulations, a sort of democratic decision of what is best for the area. From the point of view of conservation at its best there is like a hidden knowing of what is right and perhaps natural blending in with the local habitat. Returning to the theoretical perhaps there is a sort of gravitational attraction where an outcome can be the law of the local, of similarity.
