Adequate urban planning and monitoring can be a powerful tool that can be used in 
improving global health and reduce the burden of infectious diseases, in this regard, 
public transport has a significant impact on environmental health and citizens. Cities, 
despite increasing population growth, widening the extent of environmental 
degradation and pollution, insufficient services and infrastructure, dilapidated urban 
fabric, informal housing, etc., which provides a wide range of factors threatening 
human health and the quality of life of citizens in cities around the developing world.
On the other hand, the lack of a global definition of health, makes it difficult to 
compare different countries and cities in terms of public health and the impact of 
infectious diseases on citizens' health. Health has been considered a new approach in 
the urban development planning literature, to improve the citizens' quality of life. 
In this thesis, to assess the health status in the urban planning approach, an attempt has 
been made to examine its effects on improving the health of the citizen by examining 
global records and experiences according to the recent pandemic and considering local 
conditions in urban transportation. The Northern Cyprus Island is a common point 
between Europe and Asia and it is considered as part of the developing countries, 
which has a large number of immigrants each year due to its numerous universities, 
health control based on urban planning. Whereby, the public transport in Famagusta 
city of the Northern Cyprus will invested.
Therefore, by combining qualitative and quantitative methods, studies have been done 
in this thesis. At first, the history of diseases in the world has been considered by the 
literature review, and then by the same method, the use of land and its role in the health 
of society has been studied. Since the two variables (land use and citizen health) have 
reciprocal effects, the correlation method has been used in this section, by examining 
public transport, how the recent pandemic spread and its effects on land use have been 
extracted.
