Abstract: Using data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, this paper roundly evaluated urban land use efficiency of Henan province from 2003 to 2012. The results showed urban land use efficiency of Henan province is low in general. and the efficiency of central region is relative higher, while the efficiency of east and southwest is the lowest. The main factors influencing the efficiency of urban land use include: redundant workers in the second industry and tertiary industry, and insufficient per capita disposable income for urban residents. To Improve the efficiency of urban land utilization we should mainly consider the following several aspects: to adjust the labor resource allocation reasonably, to strengthen the adjustment of industrial structure upgrade, to develop the county economy, and to improve the people’s income.
