Background: Health in the community known as an investment, and climate is one of the most environmental factors affecting health. The purpose of this study was to determine the climate types in Isfahan and that relationship on mortality of the respiratory system diseases.Methods: In this research, using 36 climate variables, in fifty-year period, prevailing climate types of Isfahan was determined using MATLAB software. The temporal dispersionof climatetypes and mortality in Isfahan was revealed. Finally, distribution of respiratory system diseases in Isfahan was identified using ArcGIS software.Findings: Seven climates category was determined.in Isfahan The probability of mortality rate due to chronic disease of the lung and bronchial and also pulmonary embolism, was27.5%and26.2% in the arid climate, respectively. In the cold, dry, low rainfall, and calm climate the probability of mortality related to pneumonia and asthmawas23.09%and21.2%, respectively. Also the probability of mortality due to pulmonary obstruction was 66.6% at windy cold climate. Highest occurrence probability of these climates was observed at July, October, January and February In respect of spatial dispersion, the highest mortality rate due to studied disease was found at Isfahan, district 1 and 3.Conclusion: It can be recommended that people with respiratory diseases should have more health care in the peak occurrence of climate types 2, 3 and 6. These climates can be occurred in July, September, January, and February. Also it can be suggested authorities should pay more attention to district 1 and 3 in future planning.Key Words: Medical Geography, Climate Types, Respiratory System Diseases, Mortality, Isfahan District
