Digital transformation and global trends in Smart City development have brought on serious security challenges in governing smart data assets. The implementation of two-way communication between cities and citizens requires secure communication channels and efficient data management. Fast development of information communication technologies (ICT) demands for continues investments in new security options. In this paper, the author examined the efficiency of implemented security levels in local government units (LGUs) through Data Envelopment Analysis. The Data Envelopment Analysis enables benchmarking LGUs according to obtained results. The efficient LG units were further examined and were ranked using super-efficiency analysis. The inefficient LGUs can use the obtained results to improve their performance using projections and thus reach the efficiency frontier.

SMEs play an important role in the national economy. Therefore, stakeholders need to pay attention to develop SMEs by doing efficiency. This research aims to determine the value of the technical, cost, and allocate efficiency of SMEs in Surakarta residency during 2015 – 2016. This research uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) program. The input variable consists of labor, while the output variables consist of sale, asset, and profit. The results of this research show that the average values of technical and cost efficiency are equal. The SEMs of Sukoharjo Regency have average value of technical and cost efficiency in 2015 are 0.850 and increase to 0.864 in 2016. The SMEs of Wonogiri Regency have an efficiency value of 0.746 and increase to 0.755. The SMEs in Karanganyar Regency have an improved efficiency value from 0.648 to 0.735. The efficiency value of SMEs in Surakarta City decreases from 0.692 to 0.691. The efficiency of SMEs in Sragen Regency also decreases from 0.592 to 0.562. The allocate efficiency shows that SMEs in Surakarta Residency are effective. This research recommends that SME owners and local government need to stimulate input utilization to produce maximum output. Furthermore, SME owners also need to manage the availability of input appropriately.Keywords: Efficiency; SME; DEAUKM berperan penting dalam perekonomian nasional. Untuk itu, para stakeholders diharapkan mempunyai perhatian terhadap perkembangan UKM melalui penerapan efisiensi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui nilai efisiensi teknis, biaya, dan alokatif UKM di Karesidenan Surakarta tahun 2015-2016. Metode yang digunakan adalah program Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Variabel input meliputi tenaga kerja sedangkan variabel output adalah omset, asset, dan keuntungan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata efisiensi teknis dan biaya adalah sama. Nilai rata-rata efisiensi teknis dan biaya UKM Kabupaten Sukoharjo tahun 2015 sebesar 0.850 meningkat menjadi 0.864 di tahun 2016. UKM Kabupaten Wonogiri mempunyai nilai efisiensi sebesar 0.746 meningkat menjadi 0.755. UKM Kabupaten Karanganyar juga meningkat nilai efisiensinya dari 0.648 menjadi 0.735. Efisiensi UKM Kota Surakarta menurun dari 0.692 menjadi 0.691 sedangkan UKM Kabupaten Sragen mempunyai nilai efisiensi dari 0.592 menjadi 0.562. Hasil efisiensi alokatif menunjukkan bahwa semua UKM di Karesidenan Surakarta sudah efisien. Rekomendasi penelitian ini adalah pelaku usaha UKM dan pemerintah daerah sebaiknya mendorong pemanfaatan input yang dapat menghasilkan output secara maksimal. Selain itu, pelaku usaha UKM juga perlu mengelola ketersediaan dan pengelolaan input secara tepat.Kata Kunci : Efisiensi; UKM; DEA

The Empirical Analysis

To determine the efficiency of regional and local government public functions, the most used method in the empirical analysis is data envelopment analysis. This paper reviews 20 counties as part of regional government units in Croatia as well as the relationship between efficiency scores and exogenous determinants in the 2009-2016 period. The results of our analysis show that, among exogenous determinants, only the annual registered unemployed rate and annual average wage for full time jobs are statistically significant.

Use Of Resources

Going through a series of crisis and post-crisis periods over the last twenty years has had a serious negative impact on public finances around the world, while at the same time the pressure on all levels of public sector governance to deliver more and better public services is growing. This requires a rethinking of the way public services are provided and funded, and efforts to improve performance through more efficient use of resources, and especially at local government level. On the one hand, as a result of global trends in decentralization, more and more spending responsibilities have been transferred to the local public sector and it has become a major provider of public services. On the other hand, the performance of local authorities is also one of the factors determining the decision of individuals and businesses to leave one local unit and choose another that offers better services at lower prices (lower tax burden). The present study aims to measure and evaluate the technical efficiency of Bulgarian municipalities through the application of the non-parametric method Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results of the calculations of the technical efficiency of municipalities in Bulgaria show significant cost efficiency differences between local territorial units. In general, the management at the local level does not use effectively about 25% of their expenditures. The largest number of municipalities operate under increasing return of scale, and these are mostly small local territorial units.

Using Data

European countries have been continuously under the pressure to improve public balances and efficiency of public spending. Economic crisis which started during 2007 weakened public finances at the state and local level in countries all over the world. In Croatia local government budgets are still below the pre-crisis level in many local government units. This paper empirically examines efficiency of public expenditures at the regional level. Performance has been investigated by developing a composite indicator of output. Spending efficiency at the regional level was analysed using Data Envelopment Analysis methodology. Results suggest that there are large differences at the regional level in using resources to provide public services. The results show that the local government units in the least efficient county should on average decrease their expenses by 55 percent, while achieving the same performance to become efficient.

Local government structural reform programs are often based on the purported benefits of increased scale. We examine this question in relation to the proposed amalgamation program for New South Wales (NSW) by the NSW Independent Local Government Review Panel using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). We find evidence that a significant proportion of municipalities scheduled for amalgamation already exceed optimal scale and that the great majority of “amalgamated” entities will initially exhibit decreasing returns to scale. Our findings thus stand in stark contrast to the Independent Local Government Review Panel (ILGRP) contention that municipal mergers are the optimal approach to capturing economies of scale in NSW local government.
