Considering the increasingly tense relationship between construction land supply and demand, we study the inherent rules and the spatial evolution in construction land use. In order to solve the problem of parameter optimization effectively, we analysis the fundamental theory of Support Vector Machine and finally accomplish the combination of genetic algorithm and support vector machine. Meanwhile we apply this model to analysis the construction land use and propose a new model, which is based on the support vector machines with genetic algorithm, for construction land evolution. Taking Guandu district in Kunming, Yunnan as a case, we find out that the new model is far superior to recent models in terms of predicting accuracy, algorithm complexity and computational efficiency. And therefore, we believe that this is highly precise, practical and efficient model for forecasting construction land use and evolution.

The ability to rapidly produce accurate land use and land cover maps regularly and consistently has been a growing initiative as they have increasingly become an important tool in the efforts to evaluate, monitor, and conserve Earth’s natural resources. Algorithms for supervised classification of satellite images constitute a necessary tool for the building of these maps and they have made it possible to establish remote sensing as the most reliable means of map generation. In this paper, we compare three machine learning techniques: Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and Light Gradient Boosted Machine, using a 70/30 training/testing evaluation model. Our research evaluates the accuracy of Light Gradient Boosted Machine models against the more classic and trusted Random Forest and Support Vector Machines when it comes to classifying land use and land cover over large geographic areas. We found that the Light Gradient Booted model is marginally more accurate with a 0.01 and 0.059 increase in the overall accuracy compared to Support Vector and Random Forests, respectively, but also performed around 25% quicker on average.
