ABSTRACT
Spatial regionalization is the process of combining a collection of spatial polygons into contiguous regions that satisfy user-defined criteria and objectives. Numerous techniques for spatial regionalization have been proposed in the literature, which employ varying methods for region growing, seeding, optimization and enforce different user-defined constraints and objectives. This paper introduces a scalable unified system for addressing seeding spatial regionalization queries efficiently. The proposed system provides a usable and scalable framework that employs a wide-range of existing spatial regionalization techniques and allows users to submit novel combinations of queries that have not been previously explored. This represents a significant step forward in the field of spatial regionalization as it provides a robust platform for addressing different regionalization queries. The system is mainly composed of three components: query parser, query planner, and query executor. Preliminary evaluations of the system demonstrate its efficacy in efficiently addressing various regionalization queries.
