Abstract: The refinement of social governance should be based on the existing level of social governance scientific measurement and analysis. Firstly, an evaluation index system of social governance was constructed, which includes social security governance, social safety governance, public service governance and social participation governance. Secondly, based on the cross-sectional data from 29 different provinces, the level of social governance in China was measured by using the TOPSIS model to divide the regional levels and analyze the coordination degree of social governance level subsystems. The results indicated that the overall level of social governance is relatively low and differs greatly among different regions and provinces characterized by the letter “U” with a wide opening in the east region, western region and middle region, and the unbalanced gourd-shaped development is characteristic of the provincial level of social governance.

Key words: social governance, refinement, TOPSIS model, cluster analysis, coordination degree
