Durbin-Watson tests are for serial autocorrelation.
Serial autocorrelation is defined only for
a time series, or at the broadest for a one-dimensional
spatial series in which influences are propagated in one
direction only (even for rivers or streams this is
difficult to believe). If your data are spatial you need
something else. If you want something else completely,
please tell us what you have in mind.
