According to studies, improvements in the design and use of different spaces to control the spread of infectious diseases can help reduce the effects of future outbreaks and epidemics in one space. The present research has been done by descriptive-analytical method, the information of which has been collected from a systematic search in sources related to the subject as well as reputable Internet databases and after screening documents and literature related to the subject. According to this method, the components and principles related to the subject have been briefly studied, analyzed and after achieving a comprehensive model in environmental healing, have led to the provision of solutions to create a healing atmosphere to improve psychological outcomes in epidemic conditions.
