ABSTRACT
Cities worldwide face the challenges of climate change, air, water, and soil and inadequate housing conditions. One of the primary goals of urban planning is to safeguard and promote health through interdisciplinary work in the field of healthy and sustainable urban environments. This study is divided into three main phases that help to analyze the current urban environment of the city of Alkut in Iraq. The first phase is the analysis of land-use changes and the urban development model using remote sensing methods and GIS. The second phase involves steps to assess and adjust urban areas' microclimate, track Alkut growth, and resolve the issues of forecasting microclimate obstacles that the city will face in the coming decades. The third stage includes creating a statistical model and generating thematic maps for zoning the territory of the city, adopting the analytical hierarchy process methods.
