Abstract

The mismatch between demand and supply remains a challenge in public service delivery. A customer-oriented perspective allows us to turn our attention to the customer side of public services. Customers can also influence the performance of public services through demand and feedback. We have developed a citizen feedback framework and a public service matching model to measure the gap between supply and demand. The matching information can be fed back to public service providers to facilitate the accurate delivery of public services. We surveyed six rural communities in Sichuan, China, to test the model. We substituted data into the model and found that the matching between supply and demand for various services varied widely and was uneven across regions. The data showed that the degree of matching was positively correlated with the regional economic level. The model is valid in capturing the mismatch between supply and demand across regions and services.
