Abstract
Paying attention to the changes resulting from the globalization of the urbanization phenomenon is undeniable in order to face the challenges in the field of urban health. Urban life and the resulting tensions, chronic and contagious diseases, natural and artificial injuries, affect the physical, emotional and mental performance of citizens; Isolation and the stress caused by it put the ability of the residents under the radius. urban health will work to improve the mentioned cases. The present study was developed with the aim of providing a conceptual framework for measuring urban health using qualitative methods. This research examines the macro theories supporting urban health, examines conceptual models for understanding and evaluating urban health at various scales, identifying and extracting indicators affecting urban health in a general sense in the world by benefiting from documentary and library sources and combining theoretical and experimental bases according to the previous stages. And finally, the presentation and design of the conceptual model of urban health assessment has been discussed. The findings from the studies of the last four years show that urban health has been generalized in cities more than any other scale, and the researchers emphasize the subjective studies obtained from it. Also, the examination of all types of health in health studies indicates a multi-way relationship between all the components affecting health. Factors and dimensions affecting urban health in different periods of time and according to the structure, problems and leading challenges of cities are different and are constantly changing.
