Perspective of Local Government on the Performance Assessment of District Sports and Leisure Centers

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The author of the manuscript presented the perspective of local government on the evaluation of the performance of sports and entertainment. In the manuscript the author presented a very important point, although the manuscript has some drawbacks that should be corrected before publication. The topic presented in the manuscript is interesting.

The last paragraph of the introduction: "Section 7 concludes and indicates the future research". This is not true because the last chapter is 6.

Stylistic, editorial errors.

What are the directions for the future, e.g. for in-depth research, analysis? (I propose to write in the conclusions, there are only 2 short sentences about it, very general).

The manuscript was sent to Sustainability. There are only 3 short sentences about it. This needs to be expanded.

I propose to expand single sentences (lines 14-15, 109-111 and others).

What's new in this article? Why is the subject matter so important and new?

The conclusions are very short (only 149 words, 1 short paragraph).

There is discussion in the manuscript, but no critical discussion.

The subsection numbering is incorrect (4.2-5.2, 4.3-..., 4.4-..., 4.5-...). Page 10, 13, 15.

Citations: [4,8,9,10,11] can be replaced with [4,8-11] etc.

Why was the DEA model chosen? I propose to describe in more detail.

I propose to expand the literature (e.g. in applications) with publications on sports, tourism, recreation, etc.
