Abstract
High allocation efficiency of competitive sports resources is key for building powerful sports nations. In this regard, there is considerable need for methods and indicators to diagnose the allocation efficiency of competitive sports resources for adjusting the allocation mode, management and regulation. A catastrophe assessment model for allocation efficiency of competitive sports resources was developed in this paper. The assessment indices were divided into hierarchical subsystems under the “input-output” framework. These indices were combined by suitable membership degree functions, such as cusp, fold, swallowtail and butterfly model. Aided by a geographic information system, this model was applied to evaluate comprehensively the spatiotemporal dynamics of allocation efficiency of competitive sports resources in China between 2003 and 2008, taking the administrative division as the assessment unit. Results showed that the allocation efficiency of competitive sports resources in China generally descended from east to west. The allocation efficiencies of the eastern coastal regions were significantly higher than those of the central and western regions. Given the temporal trends, the allocation efficiency of competitive sports resources in most provinces remained low and stable. Specifically, the allocation efficiency of competitive sports resources in central and western provinces remained low across the years. The catastrophe model not only reduces the weight of the subjectivity of the assignment, and can reduce the subjective evaluation criteria to determine the uncertainty of the calculation process. Being simple and operational, it is thus believed to provide an alternative approach to multi-attribute assessment in sports modeling and simulation.
