Abstract :
It appears that the discussion on the health of local councils, specifically in terms of mental and physical well-being of individuals and society, despite its significant importance and sociologists' emphasis that a healthy individual is the cornerstone of sustainable regional development, has remained neglected. The promotion of health indicators in the region depends on influencing the social components of health. However, the Health, Environment, and Urban Services Commission, which was established with the aim of identifying deficiencies and addressing welfare, service, and hygiene shortcomings at the city level and proposing solutions for their improvement by utilizing experts in urban services, has not been able to effectively fulfill its primary role in advancing individual and societal health as expected. This highlights the necessity of proper supervision over the performance of councils and preventing negligence or misconduct by local council members. By holding these public power holders accountable, it becomes possible to promote both physical and mental health within the community, achieve a safe and healthy society, and create an appropriate model that opens the door to growth and prosperity for other commission-based and council institutions across the country.
