“…There are many different applications of DEA regarding Croatian tourism, which, once more, shows the wide application possibilities for this methodology. The results from this research show that most of these ten surveyed papers employ the DEA BCC output-oriented model, whereas almost half of them have employed both the CCR and BCC DEA models (i.e., Rabar et al, 2011;Jardas Antonić et al, 2015;Kordić et al, 2017, Hodžić et al, 2020. Jardas Antonić and Pavlić Skender (2015), Poldrugovac et al (2016), Kordić and Šimundić (2017), and Barišić and Cvetkoska (2020), have chosen a single year for a time frame for the research, namely , 2013, 2015, respectively.…”

Tourism is one of the largest and continuously booming economic sectors globally that significantly contributes primarily to GDP, employment, and prosperity. The efficiency of this sector is, therefore, closely researched and investigated by scholars across the globe. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA henceforward) is one of the leading non-parametric methodologies that evaluates the performance and relative efficiency of complex and homogeneous entities called Decision-Making Units (DMUs). The main aim of this study is to explore, identify and present different applications of DEA in Croatian tourism, which is one of the sectors that contributes the most to the economy. Other goals are to present ten surveyed papers that employ the DEA methodology. To identify the surveyed studies, an extensive literature review has been conducted, and the Scopus, Web of Science, and CROSBI (Croatian Scientific Bibliography) databases have been browsed, with the keywords "DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS", "TOURISM "and "CROATIA ". Furthermore, the study of Neralić and Gardijan Kedžo (2019) has been used as a foundation of the literature review. The key findings indicate that most of these ten surveyed papers employ the DEA BCC output-oriented model, and most of the analyzed time frame is from 2011 onwards.

“…On the other hand, DEA has a handful of advantages when compared to conventional accounting methods. In this context, DEA makes it possible to give a comparison of the relative performance between multiple performance measures (Poldrugovac et al, 2016) and is commonly employed in benchmarking and obtaining guidelines for improvements in business performance and efficiency (Jardas Antonić & Pavlić Skender, 2015). Furthermore, DEA has a very practical component that allows for the identification of the best-practice DMUs that serve as benchmarks for the inefficient DMUs and does not depend upon a subjective opinion of researchers, which lowers the negative effect of various biases and mistakes (Hodžić, Bogdan & Bareša, 2020).…”

“…Additionally, DEA does not require functional dependence between input and output variables when solving fragmented linear programming and calculates the relative efficiency of decision-making units using multiple inputs and outputs not necessarily expressed in identical measurement units (cost, number of employees, etc.) (Jardas Antonić & Pavlić Skender, 2015;Hodžić, Bogdan & Bareša, 2020).…”

Tourism is one of the most contributing economic sectors globally and is especially important for developing economies, due to its contribution to GDP, creation of new jobs and its impact on economic development. The tourism sector has gained a lot of attention from academia and governments due to its strategic position in the economy. Its efficiency and performance are closely researched and analysed. One of the leading nonparametric methodologies that have been often used to evaluate relative efficiency of homogeneous entities is the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The main goal of this chapter is to identify, present and explore the applications of DEA in different aspects of Croatian and Serbian tourism. Other goals are to present and analyse the findings of the twelve surveyed papers and to highlight the benefits and limitations of the DEA methodology. Additionally, this research represents an incentive and an inspiration to other academic members and researchers to apply the DEA methodology in their future studies when analysing and investigating efficiency in the tourism sector, as well as any other economic sector.

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.
