We investigate the boundary effect of small-scale $s$ quark matter, and the self-similarity structure influence of strange hadrons in the hadron gas on QGP--hadron phase transition. In this study, the multiple reflection expansion method is employed to investigate the boundary effect of QGP droplets containing $s$ quarks. The calculation reveals that under the influence of boundary effect, small-scale $s$ quark matter exhibits lower energy density, entropy density, and pressure. In hadron phase, there is the two-body self-similarity structure between $K$ meson and neighboring $\pi$ mesons under the influence of collective flow, quantum correlations, and strong interactions. By applying Two-Body Fractal Model to study the self-similarity structure of the $K$ meson in meson and quark aspect, it is found that the self-similarity structure of the $K$ meson exists in hadron phase, leading to an increase in the energy density, entropy density, and pressure of the $K$ meson. With the influence of self-similarity structure, it is found that the derived transverse momentum spectrum of $K$ meson has a good agreement with experimental data (Fig. (a)). This study predicts that in the HIAF energy region, the self-similarity structure factor of $K$ meson $q_{1}$ approaches $1.042$. Under the influence of boundary effect and self-similarity structure of $K$ and $\pi$ mesons, it shows that the phase transition temperature of $s$ quark matter increases (Fig. (b)). And if the boundary of $s$ quark matter curves more, the increase of phase transition temperature becomes more pronounced compared to the influence of self-similarity structure.
