Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze spatial differentiation and hindrance of urban land use based on the economic-social-ecological performance and advances counter-measures. Using the social, economic and ecological data of 61 counties in Jiangsu Province, we construct a land use performance evaluation model and a hindrance diagnosis model to analyze spatial differentiation and measure the hindrance degree. Our results show that the comprehensive performance of land use in Jiangsu Province presents a spatial pattern with a decreasing ranking of "Southern Jiangsu-Central Jiangsu-North Jiangsu", and the economic, social and ecological performance shows different spatial differentiation characteristics. The economic performance shows spatial characteristics with a decreasing ranking of "Southern Jiangsu-Central Jiangsu-Northern Jiangsu". Social performance does not show a significant differentiation state. Ecological performance shows a spatial pattern the same with that of economic performance. As for intra-regional spatial difference, the economic performance shows spatial characteristics with that "Southern Jiangsu is the largest, followed by Central Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu". In terms of the social performance, there are significant spatial differences between Southern Jiangsu and Central Jiangsu, while the difference is trivial in the Northern Jiangsu. The ecological performance presents a pattern that Central Jiangsu is the best, followed by Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu respectively. The dominant hindrance factors of Southern Jiangsu are social factors, while in Central and North Jiangsu, the dominant factors are economic hindrance factors. With the hindrance problem of land use in Jiangsu, it is necessary to weaken dominant hindrance, improve the land use performance on county level, fill the gap between counties, and stick to the "social-economic-ecological" performance framework and the coordinated development.
