The goal is to foster a constructive dialogue between the researchers and planners of future (space) habitats. The authors explore the diverse concepts of the term \u003ci\u003eHabitability\u003c\/i\u003e from the perspectives of the inhabitants as well as the planners and social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book provides an overview of the evolution and advancements of designed living spaces for manned space craft, as well as analogue research and simulation facilities in extreme environments on Earth. It highlights how various current and future concepts of \u003ci\u003eHabitability\u003c\/i\u003e have been translated into design and which ones are still missing. The main emphasis of this book is to identify the important factors that will provide for well-being in our future space environments and promote creative solutions to achieving living spaces where humans can thrive. Selected aspects are discussed from a socio-spatial professional background and possible applications are illustrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuman factors and habitability design are important topics for all working and living spaces. For space exploration, they are vital. While human factors and certain habitability issues have been integrated into the design process of manned spacecraft, there is a crucial need to move from mere survivability to factors that support thriving. As of today, the risk of an incompatible vehicle or habitat design has already been identified by NASA as recognized key risk to human health and performance in space.\u003ci\u003e Habitability\u003c\/i\u003e and human factors will become even more important determinants for the design of future long-term and commercial space facilities as larger and more diverse groups occupy off-earth habitats. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will not only benefit individuals and organizations responsible for manned space missions and mission simulators, but also provides relevant informationto designers of terrestrial austere environments (e.g., remote operational and research facilities, hospitals, prisons, manufacturing). In addition it presents general insights on the socio-spatial relationship which is of interest to researchers of social sciences, engineers and architects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-06-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030697396\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-69740-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 250\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45169160749196,"sku":"9783030697396","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030697396.jpg?v=1777995531","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030697396","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
