Why do people still use caves for shelter

In many countries, people are still living in caves, as did their ancestors. I was curious to find out what makes them choose a type of prehistoric habitation.

Primitive tribes prized refuge in the crevices of its reliability. Modern cave settlers focus on other benefits:

· Reducing the cost of construction work, compared with the construction of the house;

· Permanent internal microclimate with favorable temperature and humidity;

· Environmental quality conditions;

· Aesthetic appeal of the home;

· The possibility to create a soothing atmosphere.

Vnutriskalnye homes are valued for exclusiveness. Architects try to organically fit into the natural landscape structures. Landscaped natural cave, fed the necessary communications. Cave houses to meet the latest standards, established in Switzerland, the USA, Great Britain, Greece. They are people with money.

For inhabitants of the densely populated regions of the globe of the cave are the only available option to address the "housing problem". In China, in rocky houses inhabited by 30 million people. The largest residential cave complex is located near the town Shenyang. It will provide all the benefits of civilization - plumbing, heating, ventilation.

In the old people live in the caves of the Turkish city Nevshiher. Despite the absence of many of the usual amenities and the danger of landslides, they have been reluctant to move in a normal home. Their rocky homes enterprising Turks turned into a kind of tourist attraction.

In my view, the caves are an interesting option to create a hotel-type rooms, but as a permanent home is not always easy.
