1.3. Structure of the Book 2. DEFINING HABITABILITY: A REVIEW
This chapter summarizes the meaning of the word Habitability in different disciplines. It explores the definition for Extreme and Isolated and Confined Environments and summarizes observed effects on the human being in such environments. Finally effects of impaired habitability will be discussed.
2.1. What is Habitability? - a historic overview of concepts and models
2.2. Extreme Environments - Definition in Literature, What is considered an extreme environment, which types of extreme environments are relevant
2.3. Isolated and Confined Environments - Definition in Literature, What is considered an isolated and confined environment.
2.4. Observed effects on the Human Being - what (negative) effects are related to extreme environments and to ICE environments
2.5. The Effects of impaired Habitability - summary
3. THE HABITABILITY MATRIX
This chapter describes the interrelated model of psychological, physiological, sociocultural and spatial habitability considerations. It will explain its relationship and introduce each of the habitability elements: the human, as individual and group; the setting and time.
3.1. A Socio-Spatial Approach to habitat design - Introduction and diagram of the interrelationship between social and physical space.
3.2. The Elements
3.2.1. The Individual ( condition, physical, behavioral health, psychology) 3.2.2. The group (crew composition, selection, gender, culture)
3.2.3. The setting (conditions of the actual environment, mission length, tasks, type of habitat)
3.2.4. The time (mission lengths, changes during the mission)
3.2.5. Summary
4. PAST STUDIES ON HABITABILITY AND HUMAN FACTORS
This chapter gives an overview of relevant past studies that were related to habitability and human factors. For each study, the physical and social setting, as well as mission relevant details are summarized. An image and / or plan or diagram illustrates the content. Most important findings or issues are highlighted. Short guest contributions by astronauts and simulation crewmembers complement the information. A particular emphasis is put on full-scale and long-term simulation research.
4.1. Historical overview - lists all relevant studies, short and long-term, including polar missions in a historical context. Studies are summarized in a table, but not described in detail
