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 HabitabilitĂ€t 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 LebensrĂ€umen, in denen sich Menschen wohlfĂŒhlen können. AusgewĂ€hlte Aspekte werden vor einem sozial-rĂ€umlichen 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 LeistungsfĂ€higkeit 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, KrankenhĂ€user, 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
