Public cultural venues are the space carriers to show the quality of life of residents and the ability of local cultural services. The quantity and quality of supplication and supply-demand relationship of public cultural venues are indicators of urban public governance. With Hangzhou as the case，this paper demonstrates the supply and demand of public cultural venues and analyzes residents’ leisure behavior tendency. The results show that：①The public cultural venues in Hangzhou are still highly agglomerated in the downtowns，which can be divided into four “local-venue typed models” according to the relationship between economic development and the layout of public cultural venues；②There is indistinct age differentiation for residents’ preference for public leisure，while there is distinct age differentiation for other kinds of motivation. And residents have higher satisfaction on the public libraries and museums than other cultural revenues；③The main objectives of residents’ participation in public leisure are “to learn” and “to recreate”，while the functions of promoting public communication and public health are not well-developed；④The residents are highly satisfied with the built environment of public cultural venues and lowly satisfied with the management，service and distinction of cultural venues. The influencing factors are the temporal and spatial inaccessibility of public cultural venues，the length of residence，educational level and income. Therefore，it’s imperative to optimize the layout of public cultural venues by implementing the regionalization and classification strategy，the accessibility strategy and quality strategy.
