This study introduces a method to optimize the feature variable selection for Sentinel-2 images from 2016 to 2022, aiming for precise land-use classification in Xiong\u2019an using machine learning. The classification reveals substantial growth in the infrastructure and aquatic areas in Rongcheng and Xiongxian counties, outpacing Anxin from 2016 to 2022. The Remote Sensing-Based Ecological Index (RSEI) indicates a generally stable yet improving ecological landscape, especially in denser areas like Xiongxian and Rongcheng, aligning regional development with ecological enhancement. EOF analysis shows a spatial ecological division, with positive RSEI values in the western regions and negative values in the east, along with temporal fluctuations indicating a decline in the west and an increase in the east since 2017. Additionally, the RSEI\u2019s short-cycle fluctuations emphasize the dynamic ecological state of the area, influenced by both long-term trends and transient factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16030495","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,29]],"date-time":"2024-01-29T12:25:01Z","timestamp":1706531101000},"page":"495","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evaluating Land Use and Ecological Patterns in Xiong\u2019an New Area of China with Machine Learning Methodology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Qing","family":"Ouyang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Environment, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Poyang Lake Wetland and Watershed Research, Ministry of Education, Nanchang 330022, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6642-9104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiayi","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Environment, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"},{"name":"Institute of Space and Earth Information Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.1080\/00045600802459028","article-title":"Using geometrical, textural, and contextual information of land parcels for classification of detailed urban land use","volume":"99","author":"Wu","year":"2009","journal-title":"Ann.
