Evaluating the efficiency and ranking of west Guilan municipalities of urban services section using data envelopment analysis (DEA)

Municipalities as well as any other organization have needed assessment and efficiency measurement to make better use of their limited resources and greater effectiveness. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of municipalities, determining efficient and inefficient municipalities using data envelopment analysis, and classifying the municipalities using Anderson Peterson techniques.  On this basis, the efficiency of 10 west Guilan municipalities of Urban services section have examined and evaluated in 1393 each with three inputs (annual budget of urban services, number of personnel of urban services and the area of urban services building) and seven output (capitation of  cleaning area, capitation of green space, capitation of game , entertainment and therapy sites, capitation of waste pickup machinery ,capitation of  firefighting, capitation of  waste collected amount and capitation of taxis).  Finally, according to conducted analysis and using GAMS software among DEA various models, CCR model of envelopment form of input oriented in order to evaluate efficiency and specifying efficiency of the units. The results of CCR model indicated that zones 3,4,6,7 are efficient areas and 1, 2,5,8,9 zones are inefficient areas.thuse,we have used Anderson-eterson (AP)approaches in order to determine efficient units final ranking.
