This book explores creative solutions to the unique challenges
inherent in crafting livable spaces in extra-terrestrial
environments. 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 Habitability from
the perspectives of the inhabitants as well as the planners and
social sciences. The 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 Habitability 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. Human 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. Habitability 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. The book will not only
benefit individuals and organizations responsible for manned space
missions and mission simulators, but also provides relevant
information to 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.

Dieses Buch erforscht kreative Lösungen fĂŒr die einzigartigen
Herausforderungen, die mit der Gestaltung bewohnbarer RĂ€ume in
auĂerirdischen Umgebungen verbunden sind. Ziel ist es, einen
konstruktiven Dialog zwischen den Forschern und Planern
zukĂŒnftiger (Weltraum-)LebensrĂ€ume zu fördern. Die Autoren
untersuchen die verschiedenen Konzepte des Begriffs Habitability
aus der Perspektive der Bewohner sowie der Planer und
Sozialwissenschaften. Das Buch gibt einen Ăberblick ĂŒber die
Entwicklung und die Fortschritte bei der Gestaltung von
LebensrĂ€umen fĂŒr bemannte Raumfahrzeuge sowie ĂŒber analoge
Forschungs- und Simulationseinrichtungen in extremen Umgebungen auf
der Erde. Es zeigt auf, wie verschiedene aktuelle und kĂŒnftige
Konzepte der HabitabilitÀt in der Gestaltung umgesetzt wurden und
welche noch fehlen. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Buches liegt auf der
Identifizierung der wichtigen Faktoren, die fĂŒr das Wohlbefinden
in unseren zukĂŒnftigen Weltraumumgebungen sorgen werden, und auf
der Förderung kreativer Lösungen zur Schaffung von LebensrÀumen,
in denen sich Menschen wohlfĂŒhlen können. AusgewĂ€hlte Aspekte
werden vor einem sozial-rÀumlichen fachlichen Hintergrund
diskutiert und mögliche Anwendungen aufgezeigt. Human Factors und
Habitability Design sind wichtige Themen fĂŒr alle Arbeits- und
LebensrĂ€ume. FĂŒr die Erforschung des Weltraums sind sie von
entscheidender Bedeutung. Zwar wurden menschliche Faktoren und
bestimmte Aspekte der Bewohnbarkeit in den Entwurfsprozess von
bemannten Raumfahrzeugen integriert, doch besteht ein
entscheidender Bedarf, von der reinen ĂberlebensfĂ€higkeit zu
Faktoren ĂŒberzugehen, die das Gedeihen unterstĂŒtzen. Bereits
heute hat die NASA das Risiko eines inkompatiblen Fahrzeug- oder
Habitatdesigns als anerkanntes Hauptrisiko fĂŒr die menschliche
Gesundheit und LeistungsfÀhigkeit im Weltraum identifiziert. Die
Bewohnbarkeit und die menschlichen Faktoren werden fĂŒr die
Gestaltung kĂŒnftiger langfristiger und kommerzieller
Weltraumeinrichtungen noch wichtiger werden, wenn gröĂere und
unterschiedlichere Gruppen LebensrĂ€ume auĂerhalb der Erde nutzen.
Das Buch wird nicht nur Personen und Organisationen zugute kommen,
die fĂŒr bemannte Raumfahrtmissionen und Missionssimulatoren
verantwortlich sind, sondern bietet auch relevante Informationen
fĂŒr Designer terrestrischer rauer Umgebungen (z. B. abgelegene
Betriebs- und Forschungseinrichtungen, KrankenhÀuser,
GefĂ€ngnisse, ProduktionsstĂ€tten). DarĂŒber hinaus werden
allgemeine Erkenntnisse ĂŒber die sozio-rĂ€umliche Beziehung
vorgestellt, die fĂŒr Sozialwissenschaftler, Ingenieure und
Architekten von Interesse sind.Â
