Abstract
Background: Nowadays, in urban planning, the centrality of health in the heart of urban development programs will ensure the city's real movement towards sustainable development. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prediction of the effects of the Family Health Plan's non-communicable disease prevention and control program on sustainable urban development.
Methodology: This qualitative research was conducted with a content analysis approach in 2023. The research community consisted of managers, executives, and all key individuals knowledgeable about health system reform plans in related areas. Sampling was based on a purposive strategy, and snowball sampling continued until saturation was reached. Data collection was conducted using semi-structured interviews, and data analysis was performed with the Sieh and Shannon approach.
Findings: The research results emerged in three main themes (conceptual codes) of sustainable environmental development, sustainable economic development, and sustainable social development with multiple subcategories. The theme of environmental development includes the subcategories of reducing pollution, strengthening the capacity of different urban areas, and enjoying public services. The theme of sustainable economic development also includes increasing equal economic opportunities and increasing economic savings. The theme of social development includes justice, social participation of individuals and families, and other social benefits.
Conclusion: Implementing the plan in Isfahan will strengthen the ability of various urban areas to respond to crises, and will lead to flexibility, productivity, and justice, which are essential features of a sustainable city and characteristics of sustainable development.
