Habitální

Habitální is a Czech adjective meaning habitable or suitable for living. It is derived from the Latin word "habitaculum," which means dwelling or abode. The term is most commonly used in the context of real estate, describing properties that are legally and physically fit for human habitation. This includes aspects such as structural integrity, adequate ventilation, access to essential utilities like water and electricity, and compliance with building codes and safety regulations.

Beyond residential properties, the term habitální can also be applied to environments. For example, a celestial body might be described as habitální if it possesses conditions conducive to life, such as the presence of liquid water, a suitable atmosphere, and protection from harmful radiation. In this broader sense, it refers to the capacity of a place to support life, whether human or otherwise. The concept of habitability is crucial in fields ranging from urban planning and architecture to astrobiology and the search for extraterrestrial life.
