Cover Statement:
"In December 2019, the Sars-cov-2 virus, which emerged in Wuhan, Hubei province of China, allegedly transmitted from bats to humans, caused a worldwide pandemic. Although the virus showed its effectiveness in 2020, the pandemic was named "Covid-19" because the outbreak started in 2019. The virus was first detected in Turkey on March 11, 2020, and with it, as in the rest of the world, we witnessed a series of restrictions and incompetence by the government. Although these decisions and practices are not unique to Turkey, the fact that a global disaster has come upon our already shaky economy has made the situation even more catastrophic for the people living in this country. In this study, which I named Habitat-22, I wanted to examine and document the social/cultural and economic effects of the pandemic, which is approaching two and a half years, on the young people between the ages of 20-35, who are considered the dynamic and productive generation of the country, including myself, within the living spaces they have created or adapted to themselves based on their means and personal tastes.."
