A change of Finsler metric L(x,y)longrightarrowL(x,y) is called a Randers change of L, if L(x,y) = L(x,y) +$\rho$(x,y), where $\rho$(x,y) = $\rho$(sub)i(x)y(sup)i is a 1-form on a smooth manifold M(sup)n. Let us consider the special Randers change of Finsler metric LlongrightarrowL = L + $\beta$ by $\beta$. On the basis of this special Randers change, the purpose of the present paper is devoted to studying the conditions for Finsler space F(sup)n which are transformed by a special Randers change of Finsler spaces F(sup)n with ($\alpha$,$\beta$)-metrics of Douglas type to be also of Douglas type, and vice versa.

In this paper, we study the generalized Randers change $^*L(x,y)=L(x,y)+b_i(x,y)y^i$ from the Brewald metric L and the h-vector $b_i$. And in search for a non-Berwald Landsberg metric, we obtain the conditions on $b_i(x,y)$ under which $^*L$ is a Landsberg metric.

In the present paper, we nd the conditions to characterize projective change between two (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metrics, such as Matsumoto metric $L=\frac{{\alpha}^2}{{\alpha}-{\beta}}$ and Randers metric $\bar{L}=\bar{\alpha}+\bar{\beta}$ on a manifold with dim $n$ > 2, where ${\alpha}$ and $\bar{\alpha}$ are two Riemannian metrics, ${\beta}$ and $\bar{\beta}$ are two non-zero 1-formas.

We shall find the condition for a Finsler space with a special ($\alpha$.$\beta$)-metric L($\alpha$.$\beta$) satisfying L$^2$ =2$\alpha$$\beta$ to be a Douglas space. The special Randers change of the above Finsler metric by $\beta$ is also studied.
