Abstract: In this paper, an index system was established from four aspects: investment degree, utilization degree, use efficiency and sustainable utilization. The weight of each index was calculated by the entropy method. On the base of those, the level of the cultivated land intensive use during 1994- 2008 was calculated, and obstacle factors were also diagnosed in Hebei Province in this paper. The results indicated that:(1) from 1994 to 2008 the intensive use level of cultivated land in Hebei Province had been fluctuating up, experiencing the stages of fluctuation in 1994- 1999, smoothness in 2000-2003 and rapid development in 2004-2008; (2) the main obstacle factors were per capita cultivated land, labor input, multiple cropping index, output per cultivated land, the output value per person and non-agriculture index. In the long run, the obstacle degree of per capita cultivated land and labor input continue to show an upward tendency, but the obstacle degree of non- agriculture index shows a downward tendency. Finally, according to the evaluation results, we put forward some recommendations about promotion of cultivated land intensive use
