Abstract In this article, based on the analysis of definition on the coordination degree between economic development and environment, an indicator structure, coordination degree model and the calculating methods on the relation between the stage of economic development and the capacity of environment are put forward. The value of coordination degree in seventeen regions of Shandong province is calculated. Because the value doesn't accord people's habit for judging the relation among economic development, resources and environment, the indicator value is converted into grade value by the way of class-deviation standardization, namely the conceptual conjunction between judge aggregation and standardization value is established. Using this judge aggregation, the coordination degree of Shandong province is classed into four types. The second and three types are classed two sub-types (high and low), according to their economic development level. The economic development phase of every type is analyzed qualitatively, according to the theory of economic development phase and combining concrete fact of every type.
With the result of the demonstrative analysis of coordination degree on the seventeen regions in Shandong province, many conclusion can be obtained as follows:the coordination degree of Shandong province is wholly on the stage of the basic coordination; the economic development phrase is wholly on the industrialized metaphase; and the economy develops at the cost of the decrease of the environmental capacity,which demonstrates that the pattern of the economic development in Shandong province is not ideal; the relationship between the economic development phase and coordination degree is in line with the "U shape" curve. Namely the coordination degree is high at the initial and middle-last stages are in the lower of the middle stage, and the second class which is at middle stage. The lowest coordination degree value lies the vale bottom of the "U shape" curve. This shows that industry structure and level has very important influence on the value of coordination degree.
