Ko ngā ararewa hiko whaiaro o roto, hei papa mahi rererangi motuhake mō te whakamahinga o roto, kua noho hei taputapu tino nui i roto i ngā mahi whakaputa ahumahi me te tiaki hou nā te mea he hoahoa ahurei me te mahi pai. Whai muri, ka whakamāramahia e au ngā āhuatanga me ngā painga o tēnei taputapu.
He ara hiki kutikuti iti, ko tōna āhuatanga rongonui ko te "iti". He iti te rahi, tata ki te 1.32 mita te whānui, ā, 0.76 mita te roa. Nā tōna rahi kiato ka taea te tomo ngāwari ki ngā wāhi whaiti o roto, pērā i ngā awheawhe wheketere, ngā whare putunga, ngā whare whakaaturanga, tae atu ki ngā whare tari. Ahakoa i roto i ngā mahi whakapaipai, tiaki, tāutanga, tirotiro rānei, ka taea e te ara hiki tangata hiko-whaiaro te whakaatu i tōna ngāwari tino pai.

Mō te whakahaere, he pai hoki te mahi a te ara hiki kutikuti hiko iti. He hanganga ara hiki kutikuti matatau tōna, ā, he pūnaha waipēhi te mea e peia ana, ā, he pumau, he pono hoki te tukanga ara. I taua wā anō, he papa whakahaere ngāwari te hoahoa o te tūāpapa, ā, me whakangungu noa ngā kaiwhakamahi kia tīmata ai. Hei tāpiri, ko tana tikanga taraiwa hiko ehara i te mea ka whakapai ake i te pai o te mahi, engari ka whakaitihia hoki te haruru me te parahanga, ā, he pai ake te taiao me te penapena hiko.

Mō te haumaru, he pakari hoki te hiki kutikuti waipēhi iti. He maha ngā taputapu tiaki haumaru kei roto, pērā i te tiaki taumaha, te tiaki ārai-tītaha, te pātene mutu ohorere, me ētahi atu, hei whakarite i te haumaru o ngā kaiwhakahaere i te wā e mahi ana i te teitei. I taua wā anō, ko tōna anga pakari me ngā rauemi kounga teitei ka whakarite i te pumau me te roa o te taputapu, ā, ka taea te pupuri i te mahi pumau ahakoa i raro i ngā kawenga taumaha, i te whakamahinga auau rānei.

Ko ngā ararewa hiko whaiaro o roto e whakamahi ana i ngā pākahiko hei pūtake hiko, ko te tikanga ka taea te whakamahi me te kore he pūtake hiko o waho. Ka whānui ake te whānuitanga o te whakamahinga o tēnei āhuatanga, inā koa i ngā wāhi kāore i te tino pai ngā whakaurunga hiko, i ngā wāhi rānei e hiahiatia ana he mahi rangitahi. I taua wā anō, ka karohia hoki e te tikanga e whakahaerehia ana e te pākahiko te tūponotanga o te whiri waea me te ru hiko, ka whakapai ake i te haumaru o ngā mahi.
