Abstract Owing to increasing population densities and impervious surface areas, heat island effects increasingly dominate urban environments and hinder sustainable development. The urban spatial form plays an important role in mitigating urban heat islands. Taking Ganjingzi District, Dalian, as an example, this study considered urban spatial form at the community scale using spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression methods to explore 2003–2018 spatial and temporal differentiation characteristics and driving factors of Land Surface Temperature (LST). The LST of each community showed a gradually increasing trend; high values (>30°C) were concentrated in central and eastern areas; low values were (
