elamiskõlblik

Elamiskõlblik is an Estonian word that translates to "habitable" or "livable" in English. It is used to describe a place or condition that is suitable for living. This can apply to a variety of contexts, from housing to environmental conditions.

In the context of housing, an elamiskõlblik dwelling is one that meets basic standards for safety, health, and comfort. This typically includes features such as adequate shelter from the elements, access to clean water and sanitation, proper ventilation, and a structurally sound building. A dwelling that is not elamiskõlblik might be dilapidated, lack essential utilities, or pose a risk to the health and safety of its occupants.

Beyond individual homes, elamiskõlblik can also refer to broader environments. For instance, a region might be considered elamiskõlblik if it has a climate that can support human life, access to food and resources, and a lack of significant environmental hazards like extreme pollution or widespread natural disasters. The concept is often used in discussions about urban planning, environmental protection, and the impact of climate change on human settlements. The degree of elamiskõlblik can vary, with some places being more comfortably habitable than others.
