A growing body of research has been focusing on land use mechanism, which is the basis of making decisions and policies. Previous studies on urban land use mechanism mainly focused on urbanization and urban sprawl while urban renewal is often a neglected area. This research aims at analyzing land use mechanism in urban renewal area. The Kowloon District in Hong Kong, was selected as the study area for urban renewal. Regression analysis has been applied to explore the relationships between different land use types and spatial land use factors. The relative operating characteristic (ROC) values indicate the effectiveness of regression analysis. The regression results give insight into land use mechanism in urban renewal area, which can be helpful input for land use management.
