Rural human settlement environment is a complex system of man-land relationship, and its sustainable development level is the result of the exchange and interaction of the elements among the systems. In this study, the evaluation index system of sustainable development level of rural human settlement environment was constructed from three subsystems of production, living and ecology. Entropy weight method, obstacle degree and coordination degree model were used to evaluate the sustainable development level of rural human settlement environment in Jilin Province from 2000 to 2019. Furthermore, the changing characteristics of coordination degree among production environment, living environment and ecological environment and the hindering factors of sustainable development of rural human settlement environment are analyzed. The results show:（1） The evaluation score of sustainable development level of rural human settlements in Jilin Province from 2000 to 2019 basically shows a linear growth trend, and the development trend is good. The living environment index is the fastest growing. Production environment and ecological environment are slowly fluctuating;（2） In the research stage, the coordination index of rural human settlement environment in Jilin Province experienced the stages of fluctuating rise, decrease and slow recovery;（3） In the research stage, the obstacle factors of rural human settlement environment in Jilin Province show the evolution characteristics of changing from living environment factors to production environment and ecological environment factors. From 2000 to 2019, the sustainable development of rural human settlement environment in Jilin Province showed rapid growth. In the future, production, living and ecological environment should be coordinated and steadily developed, and the impact of obstacles to rural living environment should be reduced to optimize and improve the rural living environment.
