Abstract :
City is the symbol of social culture, the main consumer of natural resources and producer of the largest amount of pollution and wastes that affect human life, nature and environment structure. The increasing trend of urbanization followed by development of environmental, social and demographic impacts has caused extensive responses from advocates of a healthy life away from pollution, health governance, human society and environment health. In the mid-1980s, the healthy city approach was raised as a way to achieve personal and social desirability. Healthy city creates facilities to foster healthy and productive organs that can promote healthy environment and community health and provide the basis for the development of relationships, human interactions and improve the ecological situation in the city. This study analyzes the status of some of the indicators of a healthy environment in the cities of Ilam province. The research method was descriptive analytic and based on secondary official data in which Topsis model was used for ranking the urban areas of the province. The results show that there is a significant discrepancy between Ilam urban areas in terms of indicators of a healthy city. In this regard, the situation is more robust in the city center of Ilam and has been ranked first and the last place is the city center of Abdanan. After Ilam city center, the city centers of Malekshahi and Eivan were ranked second and third And at the End of the table, the city centers of Darre shahr and Shirvan, respectively, were rated next before Abdanan.
