Abstract

With the development of spatial information technology and the rapid growth of urban spatial data, spatial co-location pattern mining plays an important role in revealing potential associations among spatial objects. To address the limitations of traditional methods in expressing spatial object dominance and neglecting instance-scale differences, this study proposed a spatial co-location kernel pattern mining method for urban functional analysis. The method constructed an adaptive scale neighborhood relation based on instance area and applied a spherical neighborhood search strategy. It introduced an area-aware mechanism and a dynamic threshold radius to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of neighborhood determination. The approach applied the K-shell decomposition technique to build a graph structure and automatically identified core features with strong centrality and structural stability. It further implemented a feature-pair-based parallel mining strategy that accelerated neighborhood computation and frequent pattern generation. Experiments on real urban POI datasets showed that the method increased the overall participation rate of mined patterns by about 10% and improved computational efficiency by an average of 33.8% compared with other methods. The results confirm that the proposed method offers significant advantages in pattern quality and computational efficiency and presents strong potential for practical applications.
