Human health depends on living in a healthy environment. Various factors determine environmental health, which should be explored to be able to improve them. The purpose of this research is to analyze the factors affecting the health level of urban environment in district 20 of Tehran municipality and to find out their spatial inequality. This is a descriptive-analytical research based on documentary data of 6 indicators and survey data of 26 indicators. For the analysis, various tools of the GIS, especially the spatial analysis tool of Interpolation, are used. Quantitative analyzes are carried out by calculating statistical parameters in attribute tables. Findings show that the score of 2.29 out of 5 in the evaluation range of 1 to 5, indicates a poor situation of environmental health. Higher weakness belongs to the 6 indicators of the economic dimension including saving, sufficient income for buying cultural goods or going to recreational journeys, and residential home per capita. Access to urban parks and green spaces with scores of 4.55 and 3.43 respectively, show a superiority compared to other indicators. In the outskirts, the environmental health condition is much weaker than in the interior areas. Despite the vastness of worn-out fabric and informal constructions and abandoned spaces, what is more effective are the impacts of external factors, 3 sides of the district are limited to fringe lands, where the establishment of polluting industries, the passage of sewage canals and the replacement of foreign and the population involved in informal and illegal jobs are affected the health level of the urban environment.
