With the emphasis on resilient cities and human settlements in China, urban ecological quality is constantly improving and optimizing. How to quantify its ecological quality and how meet public needs are important issues that need to be solved urgently. As an important ecological security barrier in the north of China, the natural and socio-economic conditions in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region vary greatly from one municipality to another. However, there is a lack of systematic research on public perception and status of urban ecological quality. This paper establishes an evaluation system in three dimensions:quantity, quality, and accessibility of ecological resources. By collecting 612 satisfaction questionnaires, 7 Baidu indices and 12 quantitative indicators of the current status of urban ecological quality from 12 cities in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, we systematically analyze the differences between public perception and the status of urban ecological quality. The study found that both the questionnaire survey and the status results showed that the availability of urban ecological resources > the quantity of resources > the quality of ecological resources, while the Baidu index showed the opposite result. It indicates that the current urban ecological quality construction in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region alliances and cities need to focus more on the optimization of quality. The study proposes the development direction of urban ecological quality construction in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which provides a reference for the improvement of residents' accessibility and happiness to the natural environment of human living.
