[Objective] The objective of the study was to analyze the degree of coordination between economic strength and environmental bearing capacity of 10 cities in Shaanxi Province

and to provide certain theoretical reference for city economic development in the future.[Methods] Using entropy value method

index systems of economic strength and environmental bearing capacity were built. And the coupling coordination degree model between economy and environment was also used to study the evolution trend of coordination degree. Tools of ArcGIS were applied to discuss the spatial pattern of them.[Results] (1) The development trends of economic development and environmental bearing capacity of 10 cities in Shaanxi Province were stable inclined. The levels of the 10 cities environmental bearing capacity were all at fluctuated high level and had no obvious gap. (2) The coupling coordination degree from 2005 to 2014 had the same slow rising trend. The space combination of coupling coordination degree was different. The coupling degree of economic development and environmental carrying capacity of the cities in northern and central Shaanxi Province was relatively high

while that of the southern part was low.[Conclusion] The 10 cities' economic strength and the coordination degree of environment capacity were significantly different on the whole. The development of provincial capital city of Xi'an in Guanzhong Region was fast

the development of Northern Shaanxi Province followed

while cities of Ankang and Shangluo Region developed comparative slowly.
