Abstract: As the main line of the rural revitalization strategy, it has great practical significance to conduct quality assessment research in the Loess Plateau. Firstly, supported by the theory of human settlements, based on the regional characteristics of the Loess Plateau, the indicator system was constructed from five dimensions, namely, production, life, style, customs and governance. Secondly, AHP and the entropy value law were used to determine the weight, and the fuzzy comprehensive assessment method was used to establish the evaluation model. Finally, taking Zhuanglang County, a typical agricultural county in the Loess Plateau, as an example, an empirical study was carried out. The research shows that: (1) the quality assessment value of rural construction in the Loess Plateau represented by Zhuanglang County is in a good grade. (2) Among the five dimensions weights of rural construction quality assessment based on the theory of human settlements, the scores of the custom dimension and the governance dimension are high, and the satisfaction of the production dimension and the life dimension need to be improved. (3) Through the analysis of the IPA quadrantal diagram, it was found that the importance and satisfaction of different dimensions of each indicator are significantly different, and the improvement of food production capacity and housing condition is the key to promote the current rural construction level. In summary, affected by the natural environment and socio-economic conditions, the achievement and problem of rural construction in the Loess Plateau reveal an obvious regional characteristic.
