Urban-rural integration is a long,complex and gradual process.In this process,both the vertical evolution on difference stage,but also showed regional differences of horizontal development.Therefore,scientific desiging evaluation system for urban-rural integration is important to rapidly promot the integration and effective implementation of the strategic.Hezuo City is located in Gannan Prefecture,is the states' political,economic,cultural centers,and its coordinated state and development trend of urban-rural has a strong demonstration effect.Useing principal component analysis and hierarchical analysis,calculated the incorporation degree of urban-rural intergration in 2000～2008.The results showed that the degree of economic integration of urban-rural continued to expand from 3.09 to 15.58,economic gap between urban and rural was widening year by year.The degree of population integration of urban-rural increase gradually from 0.32 to 0.42,which means the slow process of urbanization.The degree of social integration raised from 1.46 to 0.7,which was better than before.But,the overall social development of urban and rural was low,the incorporation degree of life decreased from the 4.49 to 2.20,which means the gap between urban and rural areas was narrowing,but still large.
