ABSTRACT

As urban shrinkage becomes a common phenomenon around the world, academic interest is focused on finding ways to improve the efficiency of public facilities and reduce vacancy. This paper aims to examine how the performance of public facilities differs depending on location and method of operation. Public facilities were divided into four types according to their purpose of use, and the efficiency of each facility was analyzed through data envelopment analysis (DEA). The results show that the efficiency of public facilities located in the capital area or large cities was relatively high. For a more in-depth discussion, differences in facility efficiency according to location and method of operation were analyzed using a t-test, and the following results were derived. First, only concert halls and gyms are affected by location. Second, efficiency can be increased only when public facilities are built in ‘dong’ or urbanized areas. Third, the contracting-out method is more effective in increasing efficiency than direct management. This paper has a limitation in that it failed to consider accessibility when analyzing the location characteristics of public facilities, so additional analysis is required in the future
