He aha te kaupapa o te pana whenua?

He mea nui te pana whenua, e mōhiotia ana ko te pana whenua, i roto i te pūnaha hiko. Ko tana kaupapa he whakarite i te haumaru o te hunga e mahi ana me ngā taputapu hiko. Ina puta he hapa i roto i te pūnaha hiko, pērā i te ara iahiko poto, te hapa ārai rānei, ka whakaratohia e te pana whenua he ara haumaru mō te rere o te iahiko hapa ki te whenua.

Mā te hono i ngā taputapu, i ngā ara iahiko rānei ki te whenua, ka ārai ngā pana whenua i te pikinga ake o ngā taumata hiko morearea, ka arahi pea ki te ru hiko, te kino o ngā taputapu, tae noa ki te ahi. Ka momotu tere, ka haumaru hoki ngā wāhanga kua pakaru, ka whakaiti i te pānga o te pakaru ki te toenga o te pūnaha. Hei tāpiri, mā te whakamahi i te pana whenua ka āwhina i te wehe i ngā taputapu mai i ngā ngaru hiko taupua, i ngā utu pūmau rānei ka puta mai i ngā āhuatanga o te hau, i ētahi atu āhuatanga o waho rānei. Ka whakaratohia he ara iti-ārai mō ēnei iahiko kāore e hiahiatia, ka tiaki i ngā taputapu tairongo, ka whakarite hoki i te mahi pono.

Hei whakarāpopototanga, ko te kaupapa o te pana whenua he pupuri i tētahi taiao mahi haumaru, he tiaki i ngā taputapu, me te ārai i ngā tūponotanga hiko mā te whakarato i tētahi ara whakahaere mō te iahiko hapa me te whakakore i ngā ngaru ngaohiko kāore e hiahiatia.
