Abstract

Land is the base of survival and development of human being. Limited land resource is the power that stimulates us to intensively use land. According to the connotation of intensive use of construction land, we select 5 indices which are cogent and effective. Then through Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA), we estimate the different efficiency of intensive use of construction land in China and its 31 provincial regions. The result is that in these 31 regions, only Heilongjiang and Shanghai are efficient, and the other DMUs are inefficient. At last, based on this result, we provide some relevant advices.

Highlights

  • Land, as one of primary natural resources, is a necessary material basis of human production and a essential carrier of other natural resources (WANG Wanmao, 2002)

  • The arithmetic mean of pure technological efficiency (PTE) is much lower than that of scale efficiency (SE). It indicates that the inefficiency of intensive use of Chinese construction land is mainly due to the inefficiency of PTE

  • Through DEAP2.1 software, we evaluate the technological efficiency (TE), pure technological efficiency (PTE), and scale efficiency (SE) of each provincial region from 1999 to 2008

Summary

Introduction

As one of primary natural resources, is a necessary material basis of human production and a essential carrier of other natural resources (WANG Wanmao, 2002). In China, the population is so large, which causes the per capita land resource too scarce. Many scholars have estimated the intensive use efficiency of construction land from different aspects through different methods. These methods have been mostly influenced by the subjectivity of index selection, dimensionless method, and weight choice, which makes the results not objective. The differential analysis of estimating intensive use efficiency of construction land through DEA is rare. In this paper, we analyze on intensive use efficiency of construction land in China and its 31 provincial regions from 1999 to 2008, by DEA method and DEAP2.1 software
