Abstract: The coordinated development of public cultural services (PCS) and cultural industries (CI) is conducive to sustainable regional development. Few studies focus on the coordinated development of PCS and CI. This study builds an evaluation index system for the coordinated development of PCS and CI and uses the entropy weight method, synchronous development model, coupling coordination model, and exploratory spatial data analysis method on 31 regions in China. It evaluates the synchronous development levels, coupling coordination levels, and spatial evolution characteristics of the coordinated development of PCS and CI from 2011 to 2020. The results are as follows: (1) The coordinated development level of PCS and CI has risen steadily. The leading type is dominant in space, with the leading type > synchronous type > lagging type. (2) The overall coupling degree is high. The high-level coupling in space is dominant. (3) The degree of coupling coordination has improved. Regions with good spatial and high-quality coordination are concentrated in the eastern, central, and coastal areas. (4) The coordinated development of PCS and CI shows positive spatial correlation agglomeration. The degree of agglomeration is increasing, mainly high high, forming an important growth region in the Yangtze River Delta economic region and its surroundings. Finally, we propose policy recommendations for the coordinated development of PCS and CI, and provide new ideas for the collaborative development of PCS and CI in China.
