Abstract:From such three aspects as the residents' leisure base, the residents' leisure need and the residents' leisure environment and based on the 2010—2014 original data, the paper constructs the urban leisure level index system to calculate the leisure level our 31 cities and determine the leisure level and measure the leisure level differences in the three regions country's by using the variation coefficient and the Theil index. The results show that the urban leisure level in Eastern China is higher than that in the central and the western China, which is consistent with the distribution pattern of the regional economic development. Although the regional differences of urban leisure still exist in our country, the gap reduces slowly in the fluctuation. From the subindicators, the regional difference of the residents' leisure needs is the biggest and that of the residents' leisure base is the smallest.
