“…Considering the pressures of economic, spatial, and social sprawl on climate change adaptability in these districts, administrators in regions prone to this type of development should emphasize industries including modern services, information technology, and the arts and culture in order to maintain coordinated development between USS and CCA [49,51]. At the same time, these districts should also apply the advanced technology of NBS (Nature-Based Solutions) to address development issues, such as the restoration of urban swampy peatlands, construction of "green roofs", and removal of all buildings in ventilation corridors [52]. For example, swamp peatlands are an important carbon sink source.…”

“…To improve climate change adaptability, policymakers in each district could employ NBS to promote syngergies between urban-climate systems. NBS makes urban environments more sustainable and less resource-consuming [52]. In addition, NBS can also improve the social well-being of residents and may create more inclusive and engaged communities [52].…”

“…NBS makes urban environments more sustainable and less resource-consuming [52]. In addition, NBS can also improve the social well-being of residents and may create more inclusive and engaged communities [52]. NBS include novel technologies that effectively mitigate climate change, such as green roofs made of cork, ecolanes made of recycled rice husk, bio-based degradable weed mats, expanded-cork green-roofs to improve water retention, air purification measures, and thermal insulation in the existing buildings.…”

“…This approach also supports processes of ventilation, cooling, dust reduction, noise reduction, air purification, water storage, disaster reduction, and disaster prevention, and biological reproduction of the green space system. NBS can improve environmental quality, creating a harmonious urban-ecological relationship [52,56,59]. By making full use of various advanced development concepts to form a space structure of "organic dispersion, fragmentation and concentration, division and balance, multi-center, and cluster", this approach embodies the philosophy of highly intensive integration of mountainous cities and climate and landscape culture in China.…”

In recent years, a noticeable contradiction has emerged between the disorderly sprawl and fragile climate environment of many cities, especially in mountainous cities. Therefore, this paper respectively constructed evaluation indicators for urban sprawl sustainability (USS) and climate change adaptability (CCA). Next, a coupling coordination degree model was used to measure the coordinated development of USS and CCA. Finally, this paper analyzed the coordinated development type of USS and CCA in the Chongqing metropolitan area from 2007 to 2017. The results of this paper show that USS and CCA have gradually shifted to coordinated development in the Chongqing metropolitan area during the study period. However, there were obvious regional differences in the type of coordinated development in the Chongqing metropolitan area. The coordinated development degree of USS and CCA in nine districts ranged from 0.635 to 0.721 in 2017. It can be divided into three types: slightly coordinated development with lagging CCA; slightly coordinated development with lagging USS; and moderately coordinated development with lagging CCA. Those districts should give priority to the use of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), and multi-center and multi-group approaches to enhance the coordinated development between USS and CCA, which is also helpful for mountainous cities in China and other countries. decline of urban climate change adaptability. Therefore, ways to urban sprawl sustainability while adapting to climate change have become a key issue in urban sustainable development.Mountainous cities are cities that are distributed mainly in mountainous areas, hills and rugged plateaus, which have different urban morphologies and ecological environments than plains and plateau cities [10]. Constrained by their own unique geological, hydrological, land, ecological environments, and natural resources, mountain cities are characterized by high sensitivity, weak compressive capacity, and poor self-adaptability [10,11]. In specific times and spaces, compared with other types of cities, mountainous cities are more vulnerable to climate change. And as western mountainous cities are in a period of rapid urban sprawl-affecting urban populations, spaces, economies, and other aspects-the impacts of climate change are even more serious. Therefore, the coupling relationship of climate change adaptability and urban sprawl sustainability in mountainous cities has become an important aspect of current urban sustainable development research.Coupling is a concept derived from the physical relationship between two (or more) subjects [12]. For example, when two pendulums are connected to a spring, their vibrations fluctuate and interact with each other. This interaction is called pendulum coupling. From an ecosystem perspective, coupling refers to the interaction, mutual evolution, and subsequent development of two or more system elements (or subsystems) [12]. Similarly, the phenomenon of interaction and mutual evolution between urban sprawl and climate change syst...

“…They concluded that the bootstrap DEA model was highly utilized as a benchmarking technology in later studies. Xiang et al (2017) [23] used the DEA models in a variety of studies, including research on nature-based alternatives for urban regeneration related to China's vulnerability to natural disasters. In addition, Biondi et al (2013) [24] used the DEA model to assess corporate efficiency by assessing the efficiency of car dealers in the automotive industry, and Ohe (2016) [25] used the window DEA model to analyze the efficiency of Japanese hotels by size and region.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to suggest efficiency improvement using the analysis of the efficiency of the royalty system for government-funded research institutes (GRIs) belonging to the National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST). Twenty three GRIs' royalty incomes and expenses (2013)(2014)(2015) were analyzed using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. First, Research Model 1 was used to find out if the obligated expense category's distribution ratio were efficient. Five Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (CCR) model organizations and 14 Banker, Charnes and Cooper (BCC) model organizations demonstrated 100% efficiency. With the exception of the obligated expense category, Research Model 2 was used. Seventeen CCR model organizations and 18 BCC model organizations demonstrated 100% efficiency. GRIs were divided into efficient and inefficient organizations using each model, and potential improvements and benchmarking decision-making units (DMUs) were found for inefficient organizations. Second, multiple regression analysis in Research Model 2 was used to analyze the cause of the efficiency to find factors that influenced the transfer of technology and license improvement. Third, there were efficiency differences among research organizations as a result of the efficiency analysis considering the research organization type with respect to the constant returns to scale (CRS) efficiency of Research Models 1 and 2. Thus, different policies should be applied to improve the efficiency. Finally, the possible improvements, future directions and limits of this study are discussed.
