ABSTRACT:
Using data derived from Sichuan Statistical Yearbooks and investigations of
land-use change, the present research does a DEA-model study of regional differences
in overall input-output efficiencies of construction land in the economic development
of Sichuan province between 1999 and 2012. It finds that though in all land-use
regions of the province the overall input-output efficiencies of construction land
maintain a comparatively high standard, in some regions they are not in complete
accordance with local economic development level. In addition, there are obvious
disparities in the change patterns of the overall input-output efficiencies in different
land-use regions. This paper then suggests that the function of adjustment, which
the optimal allocation of construction land can play, should be brought into full
effect to enhance regional socio-economic development, and that the allocation of
construction land should be based on a comprehensive analysis of overall efficiency.
