Research On The Construction Of Public Service System In Rural Areas Of Shaanxi Province

The construction of rural public service system in Shaanxi Province, generally speaking, gained relatively large achievements, and quality of production and life has been greatly improved. But compared with the city, the overall level is still low in rural areas and there is a big gap between them. Public services in the city are to be provided through financial means basically, and urban residents are entitled to preferential treatment in the medical treatment, employment, housing, social security and so on; rural public services are essentially resolved by the farmers themselves or through collective funds raised outside the system, and the state only provide appropriate assistance. The dual arrangement of public service system in urban and rural areas, not only causes insufficient supply of public goods and services in rural areas, and structural imbalance of supply and demand, but also enlarges the gap between urban and rural areas, which is not in favor of the vast rural population to enjoy equal national treatment, and affects the construction of harmonious relationship between urban and rural areas, and the social progress and development.In recent years, governments at all levels in Shaanxi Province has adopted a series of effective policies and measures to expand the scope of public finance coverage in rural areas, to increase financial investment in agricultural and rural development, and set the construction of rural infrastructure, education, health care and social security and other public goods supplying as an important content of building new socialist countryside, to effectively promote the building of the new country and the rural public service system. Overall speaking, however, due to the long implementation of the dual arrangement of public service supply between urban and rural and the coexistence of big cities and large rural areas, big gaps exist between urban and rural areas, between regions, industries, and departments of public services. The development of rural public services has remained relatively stagnant, especially when compared with the urban, the rural public facilities, education, health, culture, sports and social security lags far behind cities, and urban-rural division is widening; the main supplier of public services in rural areas are not clear, supply of public services is inadequate; then long-term mechanism of promoting agriculture and country by industry and city has not been established.In contrast to Western developed countries, Shaanxi Province, has just started the research on the theory of rural public service system, and theoretical research in this area is limited to the surface. To Shaanxi Province, the research in this area is even fewer, which is the original purpose and the starting point of this essay. This paper will discuss the related reasons for the current inadequate public services in rural areas in Shaanxi Province. Through questionnaires and statistical analysis, understand and know the actual situation and problems of the construction of rural public service system in Shaanxi Province, and discuss the related reasons for these problems and propose countermeasures.
