As exemplified in various disturbed conditions on present-day Earth, anthropogenic activities can significantly accelerate the degradation of our environment and atmosphere, damaging many naturally balanced ecosystems and disrupting the overall biosphere of the Earth. Ultimately, this holds the potential for mass extinctions and threatens the human species as well. By carefully accounting for differing economic, political, cultural, and religious affiliations, innovative design proposals for long-term human settlements into the Solar System can better focus resources on improvement and/or amending of relationships between ethnic and religious groups and individual countries. The goal is to lay the groundwork for avoidance of interplanetary - and ultimately interstellar-conflicts that may spread destruction to settlements outside of Earth, causing disasters best left in our home world's troubled past and defeating the essential purposes of human space exploration and off-world colonization. This proposal focuses on the organizational design for human settlements, but it also implies pre-settlement events where the use of artificial intelligence is implemented to create a relatively safe environment and qualified living conditions for the settlers before mass migration begins. If implemented successfully, potential international, interplanetary, and interstellar tensions will stand a better chance of being restrained, avoiding the recurrence of conflicts on ever larger scales.
