abstract="BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Health impact assessment (HIA) offer a very logical and interesting approach for those aiming to integrate health issues into planning processes. With a lot of works and plans waiting to be done (e.g., developing and updating plans, counseling planning commissions, cooperation with other organizations), planners find it difficult to prioritize health among a variety of possible issues and solutions they confront. <br><br>METHODS: In the present article, first, the list of social determinants of health associated with Chitgar man-made lake was extracted out using a qualitative method and with content analysis approach, and then they were prioritized using analytic hierarchy process. <br><br>RESULTS: 28 social determinants of health including &quot;intermediary&quot; and &quot;structural&quot; determinants were extracted out. Regarding positive effects of lake on these determinants, &quot;recreational services&quot; and &quot;traffic&quot; received the highest and the lowest weights with 0.895 and 0.638 respectively among structural determinants and with consideration to &quot;construction&quot; option. Furthermore, among intermediary determinants for &quot;construction&quot; option, sub-criteria of both &quot;physical activity&quot; and &quot;air quality&quot; received the final highest weight (0.889) and &quot;pathogenesis&quot; indicated the lowest weight with 0.617. Moreover, lake demonstrated the highest negative effects on &quot;housing&quot; among &quot;structural&quot; determinants which it takes the highest weight (0.476) in &quot;non-construction&quot; option. Additionally, lake had the highest negative effects on &quot;noise pollution&quot; among &quot;intermediary determinants&quot; and it takes the highest weight (0.467) in &quot;non-construction&quot; option. <br><br>CONCLUSION: It has been shown that urban development projects such as green spaces, man-made lakes … have a huge range of effects on community's health, and having not considered these effects by urban planners and mangers is going to confront urban health with many challenges.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
