The study utilizes archival field data, cadastral data, and published scientific literature for model training and testing, using Landsat-5 imagery from 1990 as input data. Four machine learning models (deep neural network, Random Forest, support vector machine (SVM), and AdaBoost) are employed, and their hyperparameters are tuned using random search and grid search. Model performance is evaluated through cross-validation and confusion matrices. The deep neural network achieves the highest accuracy (96.2%) and performs well in classifying water, urban lands, open soils, and high vegetation. However, it faces challenges in classifying grasslands, bare lands, and agricultural areas. The Random Forest model achieves an accuracy of 90.5% but struggles with differentiating high vegetation from agricultural lands. The SVM model achieves an accuracy of 86.1%, while the AdaBoost model performs the lowest with an accuracy of 58.4%. The novel contributions of this study include the comparison and evaluation of multiple machine learning models for land use classification in the Kerch Peninsula. The deep neural network and Random Forest models outperform SVM and AdaBoost in terms of accuracy. However, the use of limited data sources such as cadastral data and scientific articles may introduce limitations and potential errors. Future research should consider incorporating field studies and additional data sources for improved accuracy. This study provides valuable insights for land use classification, facilitating the assessment and management of natural resources in the Kerch Peninsula. The findings contribute to informed decision-making processes and lay the groundwork for further research in the field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data8090138","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,30]],"date-time":"2023-08-30T09:44:46Z","timestamp":1693388686000},"page":"138","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Using Landsat-5 for Accurate Historical LULC Classification: A Comparison of Machine Learning Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7368-3303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denis","family":"Krivoguz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of the \u201cOceanology\u201d, Southern Federal University, 340015 Rostov-on-Don, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5702-3260","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergei G.","family":"Chernyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cyber-Physical Systems, St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University, Leninsky Prospect, 101, 198262 St. Petersburg, Russia"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Equipment of Ships and Automation of Production, Kerch State Maritime Technological University, 298309 Kerch, Russia"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Zinchenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cyber-Physical Systems, St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University, Leninsky Prospect, 101, 198262 St. Petersburg, Russia"}]},{"given":"Artem","family":"Silkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cyber-Physical Systems, St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University, Leninsky Prospect, 101, 198262 St. Petersburg, Russia"}]},{"given":"Anton","family":"Zinchenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cyber-Physical Systems, St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University, Leninsky Prospect, 101, 198262 St. Petersburg, Russia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"351","DOI":"10.1007\/s41324-017-0102-x","article-title":"LULC Analysis of Urban Spaces Using Markov Chain Predictive Model at Ranchi in India","volume":"25","author":"Ahmad","year":"2017","journal-title":"Spat.
