The
idea of " the Healthy City" is a new
horizon which concentrates mainly on preserving and
elevating human dignity through engaging in health -
oriented conducts in all living environmental
domains. the healthy city resembles a healthy man .
and healthy , is interpreted as physical , mental and
social welfare and tranquillity for human beings.
The healthy city program was first introduced in
Europe by World Health Organization (WHO) in 1985 .
The success of this program in finding a solution to
the common city problems worldwide has encouraged
over one thousand cities to join it so far. 26 cities
and districts in Iran have joined this program. the
Kish Island was the first island which joined the
family of healthy cities in Iran . Pursuing the
objectives of the "healthy city" are of
prime importance to kish officials. Being surrounded
by sea, unique environmental , geographical and
economic situation could with a peculiar social
texture and inflow of goods and passengers to kish ,
potentially expose this island to the threat of
unhealthy conditions, and this requires careful and
acute attention to the question of preventing
pollution in kish . Introduction of sustainable
development projects, utilizing the tourist
potentials and the pledge to preserve healthiness of
kish Island are promising perspectives.
