The implementation of the development strategy and the policy for the above areas plays an important role for promoting the development of the less- developed areas and the coordination and development of every area. In recent years, the development environment of the Western area has been improved evidently, the economic vigor of the Northeast area has been strengthen evidently, and the Central Region has also had the new tendency of the economic development speeding-up. But undeniably, the regional difference in our country has not been shortened because of that, and it even has been broadened further. In the market economy system, it is a normal phenomenon to having the regional difference to some degree. It is a long-term task to keep the regional difference in a certain degree. In such circumstance, how to understand the essence and connotation of the regional coordination and development and which policies and measures it should promote the regional coordination and development through, these are the questions which have the important theoretical significance and also have practical value. The 11th Five-Year Plan and the Report to the Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China have expatiated systematically on the regional coordination and development in our country. Both the above two documents emphasize realizing equalization of the basic public service. And both are the important approaches to shorten the regional development difference and to promote the regional coordination and development. On the basis of the concrete analysis on the connation and the related theories of the basic public service equalization and the regional coordination and development , this paper develops the systematical analysis on the questions such as the formation and the basic content of the regional coordination and development strategy in our country, the important significance of the basic public service equalization to promote the regional coordination and development, and the measures to realize the basic public service equalization.In recent years, our government pays more and more attention on the issue of the regional coordination and development, and gradually forms its strategic system. The regional coordination and development has very rich connotation.

Form the angle of promoting the harmonious development between people and the nature and the construction of the main body area, realizing the basic public service equalization is the key part to ensure the basic rights and interests of limiting the development areas and forbidding the development areas, and to advancing the positive cooperation of the local government and residents in the construction of the main body area. In addition, realizing the basic public service equalization also is the fundamental guarantee conditions of forming the proper division relationship and the coordinative and interactive mechanism among the regions, and eliminating regional conflicts such as the Local Protectionism.Realizing the basic public service equalization must base on the precondition of the financial system reformation and the basic equalization of the public finance in each are.
