[email protected] Abstract: The change of urban construction land is most obvious and intuitive in the change of global land use in the new era. The supply and allocation of construction land is an important policy tool for the government to carry out macro-control and spatial governance, which has received widespread attention from political circles, academia, and the public. An empirical study on the change of construction land and its driving factors in 70 county-level cities in Guangxi, China based on the GeoDetector method reveals the driving mechanism of the construction land change in county-level cities and provides more detailed information and a more accurate basis for county-level city policy makers and decision makers. The study shows a significant heterogeneity in the action intensity and interaction between construction land change and its driving factors in county-level cities, where population and GDP size, transportation, and industrial structure are determining factors.
