ʻO ke kaiapuni kahi mea hoʻoholo nui i ke olakino. No kahi ʻāpana nui o ka heluna o ka honua, ʻo kēia ka mea nui nui. ʻO kahi laʻana, i nā ʻāina kūkulu, 43% o ka heluna kūlanakauhale e noho nei i nā wahi moe, 20% a 50% ʻaʻohe wai kahe, 25% a 60% ʻaʻohe lua kahe, a pinepine ʻole kahi ʻōnaehana ʻōpala¹. Kūlike nā kūlana maʻemaʻe.

No ka heluna kanaka o nā ʻāina kūkulu, ʻo nā pilikia nui ka hoʻohaumia kaiapuni (ka ea, ka wai, ka lepo), ka lawe ʻana, ka maikaʻi o ka hale a me ka maluhia o ka lehulehu. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka maʻi māmā a me nā maʻi puʻuwai kokoke i nā ala hele kaumaha ma muli o ka haumia. Hiki ke weliweli kekahi mau kaiāulu a hāʻawi ʻole i kahi kaiapuni e kōkua i ka hele wāwae a i ʻole ka halihali lehulehu. Hoʻohaʻahaʻa kekahi mau hale, pulu a anuanu hoʻi. A hāʻawi kekahi o ka poʻe ʻilihune i ka hapa nui o kā lākou waiwai i ka hale, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ka hopena o ka ilihune i ka meaʻai, nā halihali, a pēlā aku.

Koe no ka maikaʻi o ka ea i loko, aia kou kaiapuni i lalo o kāu kaohi pololei. Inā puhi kahi lālā o ka ʻohana, ke noi ʻana iā lākou e puhi i waho e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka maikaʻi o ka ea i loko o ka hale. I nā ʻāina kūkulu, ua koho ʻia he 3 biliona mau kānaka e kuke me ka wahie paʻa, kahi kumu nui o ka uahi a me ka haumia. ʻO ka holomua, i kēia hihia, e hoʻohana i kahi wahie wai (petrole a i ʻole propane gas).

ʻO ka mea hoʻoholo hou aʻe: Nā lawelawe olakino.
