Abstract
Urban landscapes are one of the most important urban spaces and can play an important role in the health of citizens. Based on this, the aim of this research is to analyze and identify the indicators of health-oriented urban landscape planning and design. In order to achieve the goal of the research, library resources were used to write the introduction and semi-structured interviews with experts in two stages to determine the indicators, and the statistical population consisted of 18 experts. In the first interview, the indicators were obtained, then in the second interview, the importance of the indicators was determined by forming the actor-objective matrix. Next, the obtained data were analyzed in Mactor and Atlas TI software. The results showed that the indicators of improving social interactions, the beauty of spaces, the desirability of spaces, human-centeredness of spaces and fair access to urban parks are the most important and the index of providing conditions for cultural and artistic activities is the least important index in planning and designing a health-oriented urban landscape. In general, it can be stated that urban planners and designers should pay special attention to the indicators presented in the present research and based on prioritization for planning and designing a health-oriented urban landscape So that by creating a desirable urban landscape, they can gain the satisfaction of the citizens and protect their health in various aspects.
