Abstract: This paper constructs an urban and rural evaluation index system of the equalization level of basic public services from five aspects: basic health care services, basic culture and education, basic infrastructure construction, basic social security and ecological environment protection. By means of entropy weight TOPSIS method, obstacle degree model and comprehensive coordination degree model, the article evaluated the equalization level of urban and rural public services in Xinjiang from 2005 to 2016 comprehensively.The paper has several findings. Firstly, the level of equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas of Xinjiang has been increasing year by year, in addition, the equalization of basic public services in rural areas has been promoted more slowly than that in urban areas. Secondly, at present, urban basic public services are mainly restricted by basic health care services and basic cultural education, while basic culture and education is the main obstacle to the development of basic public services in rural areas. Thirdly, the coordinated development index of basic public services in urban and rural areas in Xinjiang is also rising year by year. However, there is still a certain degree of lag in the coordinated development of basic culture and education. Finally, according to the above results, put forward some corresponding policy recommendations.

Key words: Urban and Rural Basic Public Services, Equalization, Obstacle Degree, Coordination Degree
