 The [[environmental conditions]] on [[Mars]] are hostile for [[human]]s without life support systems; examples of the factors which make the surface of Mars uninhabitable include the thin, [[oxygen]]-poor [[atmosphere]], the lack of easily available liquid [[water]] and the extremely cold climate.  The habitat of any human visitor to Mars would have to be set of self-contained artificial environments, including [[settlement facilities]] such as [[building]]s, tunnels and greenhouses.  Movement between habitats would require airtight [[:category:rovers|rovers]] or [[space suit]]s.
-The lower gravity of Mars is an environmental factor that may or may not be important in the long run.  If the lower gravity significantly affects the viability of a Mars settlement, it might be possible to build part of the habitat on a centrifuge.  However, this may affect the economical viability of a surface settlement versus a rotating space habitat.

 [[Terraforming]] has be suggested as a way of making the whole surface of Mars habitable. The more Mars is terraformed, thus increasing atmospheric pressure, the easier it is to built habitats and large domes, eventually huge domes spanning kilometers.  Habitats can be categorized into four stages:

+A fourth stage habitat necessarily comes after some terraforming effort, and therefore after the passage of up to a century of time after the initial settlement.  Note that a terraforming Mars to a fully breathable atmosphere is very hard, and make take millennia.  But increasing Mars' atmospheric pressure to the point that breather masks can be used rather than pressure suits, would take much less time.  Creating habitats that can hold air, but don't have to deal with a near vacuum on the outside would be far easier to construct.
 This stage takes into account changes in the environment that modify the habitat requirements, possibly making some of the third stage habitats redundant.
