Objective and Motivation
Results
Analyzing socioeconomic-vegetation relations in the context of urban growth contributes to an understanding of the role of urban
regions in carbon cycling and global environmental change. This project investigates the relationships among socioeconomic
character, land use, and vegetation in residential land in the Front Range of Colorado, a rapidly urbanizing region.

Statistics. Correlations indicate that the variables that have the strongestCoefficients
relationships
Density (negative relationship) and Residential Density (positive relationship). In a multivariate context, Housing Year exerts the most influence when the
influence of the other explanatory variables are accounted
for, although its zero-order correlation is much lower those of all of the other explanatory variables.

Data: Sources and Preprocessing
• Vegetation: NDVI from July 27, 1999 Landsat 7 ETM+ image
• Land use: USGS (from aerial photography)
• Socioeconomic Status: 2000 U.S. Census
• Residential and Commercial Density: calculated by generating grids of the
number of residential and commercial grid cells within 1 km of each cell, then
calculating the tract mean
• Elevation: USGS
• Highways: ESRI
Note that although colors are mapped to entire tracts, data represents only the
residential land within each tract.

Spatial Association Rule Mining. Results suggest that residential NDVI is lowest in older, socioeconomically
disadvantaged neighborhoods nearby commercial centers. Residential NDVI is highest in older neighborhoods
with higher socioeconomic status. Residential NDVI is also highest in areas of residential concentration but sparse
population, i.e. planned developments with large lots. Note the role of low Housing Year in predicting both low and
high residential NDVI, which explains its statistical results.

Methods
Spatial data mining techniques are exploratory methods for detecting patterns in very large spatial databases. We use spatial association rule mining and spatial on-line
analytical processing (OLAP), as well as mapping and statistics.
Spatial Association Rule
Mining seeks to discover
associations among
transactions encoded in a
spatial database. An association
rule takes the form A → B
where A and B are sets of
predicates, and either A or B
contains a spatial relationship.
Interesting rules are found by
using metrics such lift, which
indicates how much more often
than expected B occurs when
paired with A.

Spatial On-Line Analytical
Processing is an extension to the
SQL GroupBy operation that
exhaustively summarizes the
value of a measurement variable
contained in the fact table by all
unique combinations of a set of
categorical dimension variables
contained in dimension tables.
Here, we summarize NDVI by
categorizations of the other
variables, and export the results to
GIS for mapping.

Spatial On-Line Analytical Processing. The maps at right show one
OLAP result where mean NDVI is calculated for dimensions of
Residential Density and Housing Year. Each tract is categorized as
belonging to a unique combination of the dimensions (e.g. low
Residential Density and high Housing Year). The mean for all tracts
within each category is then calculated. Maps use the HSV color model
to display the multidimensional data. Hue is mapped to Housing Year
where yellow, orange, red, and purple map from lowest (oldest) to
highest (most recent). Saturation is mapped to Residential Density
where low (high) saturation represents low (high) Residential Density.
Value maps to the NDVI value using a linear stretch between values of
105 and 255.
With Value Mapped to NDVI Data
The map on the left shows the NDVI
data mapped to tracts categorized by
Value = NDVI
Residential Density and Housing Year.
The map on the right maps the color value
to the NDVI mean for the entire data set.
Areas that are darker (lighter) in the map
on the left have a relatively high (low)
Hue
NDVI. Older, densely residential areas
have high NDVI. Comparison of the color cubes shows that Residential
Density distinguishes between high and low NDVI, but only between the
areas of lowest Residential Density and the other classes. Likewise,
Housing Year is important only in distinguishing the most recent
residential development from other areas.

Conclusions
This research demonstrates that vegetation greeness in residential areas is a function of the
age and type of development as well as socioeconomic status. Vegetation tends to be
concentrated in older, densely residential developments that are far from commercial centers
and highways and that contain primarily non-minority households with high educational
attainment and income.
Spatial data mining and visualization, in combination with multivariate statistics, have shown to
be useful tools in identifying land cover, socioeconomic, and ecological relationships that are
complex and non-linear. GIS serves a key function as data pre-processor and map display
device.
Future research will address using more sophisticated metrics of ecological character and the
application of similar techniques to identify patterns and relationships in time series data.
