The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of healthy city policies based on local and regional needs in South Khorasan province. The type of research was descriptive and analytical, which was conducted in terms of conditions and the realization of the idea of a healthy city in South Khorasan province, using health, social and residential indicators. The required data were obtained from general censuses, sampling of the Statistics Center and 300 sample households from 11 cities of the province. SPSS and ArcView software were used to analyze the data. The innovation of the research has been in using various indicators and giving priority to health indicators. The results showed that South Khorasan is one of the most deprived provinces and few facilities are concentrated in limited areas while other areas are in unfavorable conditions. In addition to being the poorest population groups, these areas are often adjacent to border areas and are more prone to common viral and microbial contamination in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
