Temporal And Spatial Analysis Of The Quality Of Basic Public Services Of Cities In Liaoning Province

Recently,there is a rapid socio-economic development and the progresses of urbanization of the economy and society in China.As a result,the gap between the rich and the poor is widening,the spatial differentiation of basic public services became obvious and the social stratification differs seriously.The contradictions between the supply and demand of housing,health care,education,pensions and other public services are becoming more and more prominent,which also turns into an important issue in the construction of a harmonious socialist society and the development of social stability.Based on the connotation of basic public services,this paper established the quality evaluation index system of basic public services in seven points including education services,cultural services,health services,information services,environmental services,infrastructure services and social security services.By using entropy value method,this article made a comprehensive measure about the basic public services quality of the cities of Liaoning province in 2003-2013,taking it as variables in order to make a quantitative analysis of basic public services quality differences and the spatial pattern of the evolution process in Liaoning province according to the difference coefficient and the Gini coefficient.As a result,firstly,in general,the quality of 14 prefecture-level cities is rising as a whole from 2003 to 2013,with an obvious scale features,especially in Shenyang city and Dalian city.Secondly,on the basis of overall expansion,the regional differences in the quality of basic public services in Liaoning province enlarged at first and then narrowed,focusing on the differences of cultural services,health services and education services.Thirdly,from the point of space differentiation,the spatial polarization of basic public services is increasing,presenting the pattern of closing to the axis of the “cross” of“Shenyang-Dalian” and “Panjin-Benxi”.With those measures have been finished we can accelerate the upgrading of quality development of the basic public services,narrow the disparities in regional development and promote the healthy development of Liaoning province.
