In practice, village planning often suffers from an “emphasis on plan preparation but neglect of implementation”, a challenge that is especially evident in Sichuan Province, China, where highly diverse landforms and uneven development foundations make one-size-fits-all evaluation approaches difficult to apply. This study aims to develop a locally adaptable and operational method to quantify village planning implementation effectiveness control, enabling cross-type comparison and bottleneck diagnosis. We construct a three-level indicator system spanning eight domains—baseline control, land-use layout and construction, ecological protection and restoration, industrial development, infrastructure, public service facilities, living environment, and disaster prevention and mitigation—and determine indicator weights using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). To capture both compliance and progress, a dual-path scoring strategy is employed: constraint-based indicators are assessed using a threshold method by comparing current values (T1) with planning standards/thresholds (T2), while expectation-based indicators adopt a progress-ratio method incorporating baseline values before plan preparation (T0), current status (T1), and targets (T2). Three representative villages—Gaohuai (peri-urban integration), Sanlongchang (agglomeration and upgrading), and Lianmeng (characteristic protection)—are examined. Results show medium-to-high comprehensive scores (81–85) with pronounced type differences: Gaohuai ranks highest (85.37), whereas Sanlongchang is lowest (81.40), and Lianmeng is intermediate (83.71). Comparative diagnosis reveals shared bottlenecks driven by the superposition of “quota–space–ecological constraints”, alongside type-specific weaknesses requiring differentiated control strategies. The proposed framework offers a replicable, multi-source-data-oriented tool for implementation monitoring and adaptive policy adjustment. The novelty lies in reframing village plan implementation evaluation as implementation control effectiveness under a baseline-constrained planning system, while operationalizing a dual-path, unified-scale scoring scheme with a type-screenable indicator library for cross-type comparison and checklist-oriented diagnosis.
