There are a few vital things needed on Mars before humans can colonize the planet.Survival in space requires a pressurized environment and must include: oxygen for humans to breathe; a thicker atmosphere for oxygen to be able to form; water for obvious reasons; and warmer temperatures as it is too cold on Mars for humans (the average temperature is -68 degrees Celsius) to survive.

There is yet no proof of humans being able to live in Mars; if there was, we'd already be there, polluting its air.

This idea came from the fact that Mars offers suitable gravity and raw materials for a colony; Mercury and Venus are too hot as they are are too near the sun and the gas Giant don't have livable surfaces of gravity.

Temperature also suggests that life on Mars is possibe; temperaturesof 20° C to -40°C suggest a livable climate. I would also like to say that there has been evidence to suggest that there is water in Mars, obviosly, or else there would be no talk of "Life On Mars".

Considering all above points, one can say that a protective habitat is possible on Mars.

Can humans survive aided on Mars?

It is feasible, yes, though there are many technical problems that would have to be overcome first. Mars is not habitable to earthlings as it is, but it is potentially the most habitable place in our solar system after earth.
