"Habitation"

 "Habitation" refers to the act of living in a particular place or the place where someone lives. It encompasses the concept of dwelling or residing in a specific location, such as a house, apartment, or any other type of shelter. Habitation is a fundamental aspect of human existence, as it provides individuals and communities with a place to live, work, and carry out their daily activities. It can also refer to the process of making a place suitable for human habitation, such as constructing or renovating buildings to create livable spaces.

Habitation is the state of living somewhere. When an area has no human habitation, it means that no people live there.

Use the noun habitation to talk about the place where a person or animal lives, or the process or act of living in a specific spot. You can say that your family's habitation in Oregon lasted for five years, although it's more common to talk in a general way about habitation. The habitation of wolves in the American west, for example, has increased recently. The Latin root is habitationem, "act of dwelling," which comes from habitare, "to live or to dwell."
