快速的城市化和主要城市人口增長促使地方政府盡快評估城市發展困境並定制城市發展新的策略。本研究制定了一個評估框架，聚焦于治理、資訊通信技術（ICT）和永續，使用差額衡量法（SBM）來評估2015年至2019年中國38個主要城市的綜合營運效率。通過同時運用網路SBM和非導向動態鬆弛測量（NDSBM）模型，研究揭示了複雜的效率動態，並在NDSBM模型中將人口作為跨期項目以進一步精細化效率評估。使用Kruskal-Wallis檢驗確定沿海和內陸城市之間的綜合營運效率在2015年存在顯著差異，但NDSBM模型的結果顯示這一差距逐漸縮小，特別是內陸城市的營運取得了逐步的改善，但強調仍需要持續解決城市發展的負面影響。研究結果表明中國政府的國家新型城鎮化計畫已經促進主要城市的永續發展。本研究強調需要持續解決城市發展的負面影響。治理、ICT和永續性被指出是應對城市發展多方面挑戰的關鍵並對城市運營的有重大影響。總的來說，該研究在城市效率評估領域取得了重要進展，展示了這些關鍵因素的協同影響以及進行動態評估對理解城市效率趨勢的重要性。研究結果強調了持續創新和戰略政策制定的必要性，以提高城市的永續發展和營運效率。;The rapid urbanization and population growth in major cities have prompted local governments to assess and tailor urban development strategies. This study formulates an evaluation framework focusing on governance, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and sustainability, employing the network slack-based measure (SBM) to assess the comprehensive operational efficiencies of 38 major Chinese cities from 2015 to 2019. Utilizing both the network SBM and the Non-oriented Dynamic Slacks-Based Measure (NDSBM) models, the study reveals nuanced efficiency dynamics, incorporating population as a carryover factor in the latter to refine efficiency assessments further. The application of the Kruskal–Wallis test identifies significant differences in efficiency between coastal and inland cities, highlighting that governance, ICT, and sustainability substantially influence urban operations. The National New-Type Urbanization Plan by the Chinese government has spurred sustainable efficiencies across cities. Despite initial efficiency disparities, findings from the NDSBM model indicate a gradual narrowing of the gap, especially as inland cities make progressive improvements. This research underlines the ongoing need to address the adverse impacts of urban development. Governance, ICT, and sustainability are pinpointed as crucial for tackling the multifaceted challenges of urban development. Overall, the study significantly advances the field of urban efficiency evaluation, showcasing the collaborative impact of these key elements and the importance of dynamic assessments in understanding urban efficiency trends. The findings emphasize the need for continuous innovation and strategic policymaking to enhance urban sustainability and efficiency.
