Abstract：Recently, there is a rapid development 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 becomes obvious and the social stratification differs seriously. The contradictions between the supply and demand of housing, health care, education, pensions and other public services is 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 service, this paper established the quality evaluation index system of basic public service 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 service quality of the cities of Liaoning province in 2003-2011, taking it as variables in order to make a quantitative analysis of basic public service 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 2011, 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 infrastructure services. Thirdly, from the point of space differentiation, the spatial polarization of basic public service is increasing, presenting the pattern of closing to the axis of the "cross" of "Shenyang-Dalian" and "Panjin-Benxi".
