Abstract：
By building the evaluation index system of software and information technology services and adopting factor analysis, this paper measures and calculates the development index of software and information technology service industry in 31 provinces in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) from 2006 to 2014. Thereby it studies the temporal and spatial evolution using Kernel density estimation and GIS technology. The results shows that in terms of temporal evolution, the development of software and information technology service industry show a steady rise in which more developed provinces enjoy a faster growth than less developed provinces. However the overall development pace is set by the less developed provinces. In terms of spatial evolution, the provinces which enjoy higher level of development mainly locate on the eastern coast while those with lower level of development are mainly distributed in northwest, southwest and other inland regions with its geographical scope expanding. The internal industries, mostly information technology services, enjoy an annual growth rate higher than the average.
