Ina tātari koe ki tētahi whare, ko te mea tuatahi e kitea ana e koe ko waho (i te mōhiotia hoki hei āhua waho). Ko tekaupapa nei te tikanga o te āhua ake. Ko te rāpoi kōhatu he ara māmā ki te hoatu i te āhua ataahua o te kōhatu ki tētahi whare, i te whakapai ake i tana āhua ake, ā, i te tāpiri uara. Ko te rāpoi kōhatu he papa pakaru kōhatu, i te nuinga o te wā he matū e rite ana ki te kōhatu, ka tāpirihia ki ngā pātu o waho o tētahi whare. Ko tētahi o ngā mea nui ake mō te rāpoi kōhatu ko tana wātea mai i te haerenga whānui o ngā tae me ngā āhuatanga. Ahakoa he mea pai ake ki a koe ngā tae oneone mō tētahi āhua morearea, i te āhua hou hoki, kei te wātea he rāpoi kōhatu hei tautoko i tō uara.
Ka taea e te papanga kōhatu te whakapono kore he whare i te paraka e pā ana ki ētahi atu. Ko te whakamahinga o te whare me te papanga kōhatu e mārama ai, e pai ake ai hoki te hanganga. Mā te kōhatu, nā te mea he mea kaha, he mea taumaha hoki te āhua, inā koa ka kitea e ngā tāngata tō whare, ka whakararangia pea tana uara. He mea pai tēnei mēnā ka rūpahu whare kē koe. Ko te Āhua Atamira He mea e pai ake ai te āhua o waho o te whare, ka taea pea e ēnei mea te tiki i ētahi atu hokohoko anō. A, āe rā, kāore anō te papanga kōhatu i te ataahua anake, engari ka āwhina anō pea i tō whare kia kaua e pakaru e ngā hau kino. E tapa‘apa‘a ana i tētahi atu takotoranga ki ngā pātu o tō wāhi noho.

Kia whakaaro tā Paia mātou ko te mata oneone he mea e huri ana i te āhua me te āhuatanga o tōu whare. Ehara i te nuinga anō i te rongonui engari he waihanga hoki i tētahi taiao ngakau nui, kaupapa atawhai hoki. Ki te tū ake ngā hoa katoa, ngā whānau katoa, ka kitea tō whare mō te pai o tōna āhua. Ka taea hoki te hono i te mata oneone ki ētahi atu matū, pērā i te rakau, i te metara rānei, hei āhua motuhake mō tō whare. Nō reira, ki te hiahia koe ki te whakanui ake i te āhua o tō whare i waho, whakaurua te mata oneone. He whakataunga ataahua tēnei e taea ai te huri i tōu whare hei kāinga, hei kāinga e hiahia koe ki te whakaatu.
He mea atu anō hei rapu: ko te tikanga whakauru. Me tino pai te whakauru i te papa kōhatu kia pai te āhua, kia roa hoki te wā e mau ai. Ko te mea pai ko ngā toa whai mātauranga hei whakauru tika. Ki Paia, kei a mātou ngā kaimahi mātauranga mō ngā whakaurunga. Ka tiakina e rātou kia pai te mahi kia kitea ai koe i te ataahua o tō kōhatu me te roa o tōna kaha. Me ui atu koe mō te mahi tiaki e hiahiatia ana i muri i te whakauru takotoranga. He iti noa te tiaki i te papa kōhatu i te nuinga o te wā, engari ka hiahiatia te horoi i ētahi momo kia noho hou, kia noho makona ai.
Kaupapa: Kia tukuna ngā matapae kōhatu pai ake mā te pūkenga whakairo tata, te tiki kōhatu e mau ana ki te taiao, me ngā hangarau mata hou—hei whakanui i te kounga, te roa o te ao, me te rerehua o ia wāhi e takoto mai ana mātou.
Teitenga: Kia arataki tāraitanga ā-ao mō ngā ratonga kōhatu tikangia, whakaahua anō i te aratotanga ātea me te hoahoa kāwai mā ngā matapae e hono ana i te maioha o te taiao, te mahi whanaketia, me te kawenga ki te taiao.
