Techniques facilitating resolution-based spatial computing are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises traversing, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, a data structure corresponding to a land area for a location having an index; and determining, by the device, whether the location is at least partially within the land area based on a result of the traversing. In some embodiments, the traversing comprises: obtaining a threshold number of levels based at least in part on a resolution parameter; scanning a first level of the data structure for a node having an index corresponding to the index of the location; and iterating the scanning for respective subsequent levels of the data structure based on the scanning returning a node having subordinate nodes and a number of levels for which the scanning and iterating have been performed being less than the threshold number of levels.
