When to leave home? Two narratives around habitability

Abstrakt

What does habitability mean from a people-centered perspective? Is there a point at which people decide a place is no longer habitable? What will happen to places deemed uninhabitable? Will they only be abandoned temporarily, or will people be unable to return? Habitability is envisioned differently by different people in different circumstances. People’s perceptions do not always align with risk assessments that only define habitability from a physical standpoint, and that these perceptions may even change over time.
