- Tirohanga Whānui o te Hangarau Kiriata o raro

**He Tirohanga Whānui mō te Hangarau Kiriata Whakamau**

He whanaketanga nui ngā kiriata tākai raro i te pouaka i roto i ngā taputapu tāonga, he huarahi pai, he huarahi whai hua hoki ki ngā pūnaha kiriata tākai taha-mau, waenga-mau rānei. He rerekē ki ngā kiriata tākai tuku iho e kitea ana te whakairi ki ngā taha o te pouaka tākai, ka tāutahia ngā kiriata tākai raro i raro i te pouaka, ka hunaia mai i te tirohanga ina tuwhera, ina kati rānei te pouaka. Ehara i te mea ka whakarei ake tēnei hangarau i te ataahua o ngā kāpata anake, engari ka whakapai ake hoki i te maeneene o te mahi me te kaha o ngā pouaka ki te kawe kawenga.

I tōna pūtake, ko te hangarau reti raro i te tuanui e huri ana i te rua o ngā awa whakarewa e piri ana ki te taha raro o te pouaka me te taha roto o te tinana o te kāpata. Mā te hangarau tika, ka āwhina ēnei reti i te nekehanga raina maeneene mā roto i ngā tikanga poroporo-peera, i ngā tikanga roera rānei, e āhei ai ngā pouaka ki te whakatuwhera me te kati mārire me te kore e uaua. Ko tēnei tikanga tāutanga huna e hiahia ana ki ngā inenga tika me ngā manawanui hanga, kia tino rite ngā reti ki te turanga o te pouaka, ā, kāore e whakararuraru i te wāhi pouaka, i te mahi rānei.

Ko tētahi āhuatanga motuhake o ngā kiriata whakakī raro ko tōna kaha ki te tautoko i ngā kawenga taumaha atu i te nuinga o ngā kiriata whakakī taha. Ka taea e ngā kiriata whakakī raro kounga teitei te kawe i ngā taumaha neke atu i te 100 pauna, he mea pai mō ngā kīhini, ngā tari, ngā awheawhe rānei kei reira ngā taputapu taumaha e rongoa pinepinetia ana. Ko te kaha kawenga i ahu mai i ō rātou rauemi pakari—he maitai kaha te nuinga—me ngā pūnaha kawe pōro motuhake e tohatoha ana i te taumaha kia ōrite, me te pupuri tonu i te mahi reti maeneene.

Ko te hangarau kei muri i ngā kiriata pouaka raro-mau e aro nui ana ki ngā āhuatanga kati-ngawari me te kati-ā-unoa, kua noho hei paerewa i roto i ngā tauira utu nui.

Nā te mea kei raro ngā kiriata e huna ana, ka nui ake te herekoretanga o ngā kaihoahoa me ngā kaimahi rakau ki te hanga pouaka, ka kore e whakamahia ngā reera taha nunui, ā, ka angiangi ake ngā pakitara pouaka. Ehara i te mea ka nui ake te rahi o ngā pouaka ka taea te whakamahi, engari ka whai wāhi hoki ki te māmā ake o ngā pouaka pouaka e tautoko ana i te tika me te tautoko kawenga o ngā kiriata whakakī raro i te pouaka. Heoi anō, ka whakapai ake ngā kiriata huna i te ngāwari o te horoi mā te whakaiti i ngā wāhi kohikohi puehu me ngā paru, he rerekē ki ngā pūnaha kei te taha e kohikohia ana ngā paru e tere ake ana te kohikohi i ngā ara whakarewa kua kitea.

Mai i te tirohanga tiaki, he iti ake te tiaki e hiahiatia ana mō ngā kiriata raro-whakanoho ki te whakaritea ki ngā hangarau kiriata pouaka tawhito. Mā te hoahoa kua oti te whakauru ka tiakina ngā wāhanga nui e neke ana mai i te paru me te kino.

Ka akiakihia ngā kaihoko kia tirohia i ia wā mō te kohikohi puehu me te whakamahi i te hinu iti ki ngā peera pōro kia pai ai te haere tonu o te mahi.

I roto i te mārama ki te hangarau reti raro-mau, ka mārama te take e kaha ake ai te mākete mō ngā kāpata me ngā taonga whare papai. Ka whakakotahi i te auahatanga hangarau me ngā āhuatanga e aro ana ki te kaiwhakamahi, ka tukuna he pouaka he marino ake, he kaha ake, he pakari ake, he ātaahua ake te titiro ki te whakataurite ki ō rātou hoa whakairi taha. Ahakoa he taputapu mō ngā pouaka kīhini, he kāpata kōnae tari, he pouaka taputapu awheawhe rānei, ka tukuna e ngā reti pouaka raro-mau he huinga whakamīharo o te whakapaipai ataahua me te pono o te miihini e whakaara ake ana i te hoahoa taonga whare hou.
