Therefore, many countries all around the world conducted FDPA research and published its results. Although Portugal is a country with many old cities and buildings, to the best of our knowledge, no FDPA study has been conducted. Hence, the objective of this paper is to conduct a FDPA on Portuguese (PT) FDs using the general FDPA framework and slack-based data envelopment analysis. The results of analyzing the 376 PT-FDs’ data in 2020 showed that only 22 out of 376 FDs were efficient; in addition, in most districts in Portugal, less than 10% of FDs were efficient, and a high percentage of FDs had less than 50% efficiency. Further details and findings are discussed, and some recommendations are provided throughout the paper. The paper’s findings could help the FPS decision maker have a better view of the FDs’ performances and take corrective actions to improve efficiencies. It can also help the FDPA evaluator to have a better understanding of how a FDPA can be conducted and discussed.DEMI - Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica e IndustrialUNIDEMI - Unidade de Investigação e Desenvolvimento em Engenharia Mecânica e IndustrialRUNEslamzadeh, Milad K.Grilo, AntónioEspadinha-Cruz, Pedro2023-06-24T22:17:01Z2023-01-132023-01-13T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article22application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/154396eng2571-6255PURE: 64507054https://doi.org/10.3390/fire6010031info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:36:51Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/154396Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:55:36.658007Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
