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. Besides, the factors of fiscal revenue, social consumption, utility investment, and real economy have a very weak action force individually, but they can achieve significant synergistic enhancement effects when coupled with other factors. In the end, urban construction land change at different scales and their driving mechanisms are somewhat different, and it is recommended to design differentiated and precise construction land control and spatial governance policies according to local conditions.
