The environment in which we live greatly affects our health. This paper aimed to analyze the environmental factors influencing health in Hashtpar, a medium sized city with a population of about 53000 people, located in coastal plain of northern Iran. 14 indicators were included in the dataset and it is used one or a combination of 2 or more methods to generate a mean value for any of the indicators in any of the supposed 34 data collection points. The data entered into Arc Map 10.8 (GIS), then, zoning maps were produced using the Kriging interpolation tool in GIS. Findings show that generally, healthy environment indicators are higher than average level and the indicators are in better condition in central parts of the city than those in outskirts.
