Based on the eco environment functional status of the region in the national territorial management of China, its rural economic development has to presuppose the controlling of soil and water loss and the rebuilding of eco environment. After analyzing the relations between the building of eco environment and the developing of rural economy, this paper firstly generalized the precondition, basic principle and direction of rural economic development in the Loess hilly gully region. Secondly, the important contents and spatial types of rural economic pattern suitable to eco environment in the region were put forward. Thirdly, the development stages and industrial development sequences of that pattern were discussed. Lastly, authors set forth the methods examining the pattern feasibility from eco environment effect, economic benefit and sustainable development, and the results from applying the methods to the region showed that the pattern is practicable.
