【 摘 要 】

Analyses of land use efficiency in development zones can provide insight into promoting effective land use and improving development efficiency. However, few studies have systematically evaluated land use efficiency in development zones at the provincial level. This study aims to analyze the economic efficiency of land use in 40 provincial-level development zones in the Wanjiang City Belt. By conducting a data envelopment analysis (DEA), we derive the following results. First, there remains considerable room for efficiency improvement. Second, the zones located on the development axis along the Yangtze River demonstrate high economic efficiency in land use. Third, the land use inefficiency of development zones located in a county is worse than that in a prefecture. In conclusion, as for efficiency improvements at the provincial level, development zones in county areas, especially in the north area of the Yangtze River, need attention.
