He aliʻi ka ʻāina · The land is chief
Planning rooted in the moku.
In the Hawaiian way of seeing, the land leads and people serve it. ʻĀina is that which feeds; each moku is a living district with its own waters, lands, and people. Mokunet organizes every project, program, and measurement around Hawaiʻi’s 33 moku — so the work of caring for a place stays rooted in that place. What you see and do reflects your kuleana: your role, and where you stand.
Three layers, one foundation
A shared map of place, a view shaped by your kuleana, and the living knowledge a community contributes back — each layer rests on the one before it.
A shared map, grounded in record
Every place tied to its moku
We bring Hawaiʻi’s official records — moku boundaries, farmland and conservation lands, wetlands, schools, roads — together into one trusted map. We do not redraw these lines; we honor what is already authoritative. From any moku, you can find the lands, waters, and places that belong to it. (Assembled from 18 authoritative state and federal datasets.)You see your moku, your kuleana
Your role and your place shape the view
When you join, a short guided conversation learns the nature of your work and the moku you serve. From there, the network shows you the places, programs, and relationships that are yours to act on. A farmer, a hub manager, and a land steward each see what belongs to their kuleana — not everyone else’s.ʻIke — a community’s knowledge counts
Local knowledge refines the shared picture
ʻIke is knowledge — to see and truly know a place. When your community measures its water, tests its soil, or surveys what lives there, that ʻike joins the map — traceable to who gathered it and where. Together it sharpens the broader statistics, bringing a moku-level picture where only county-level numbers existed before.By the numbers
The map is real and already grounded in record — not a concept.

Where the work stands today
Mokunet is under active development. We name plainly what is working now and what is still being built — a network earning trust should not overstate itself.
Working today
- The shared map — 33 moku, 18 official datasets
- Projects and programs tracked from planning to outcome
- Guided onboarding that places you by role and moku
- Producer and farm connections (bGoodFarms)
- Building-data requirements tied to contract and place
- Research Commons — community data intake
Being built
- Your personal record — projects, roles, and affiliations
- A connected monitoring network across moku
- A home for community field samples and observations
- Open access for partners and developers
- Lifecycle impact measurement
- Supply chain governance
- Verifiable provenance — a record no one, including us, can quietly rewrite

Standards & specifications
The open ISO, buildingSMART, and GS1 standards Mokunet builds on, and how each one routes local work toward the SDGs.
Facility information
How a building's data requirements get tied to the contract, moku, and place that govern it.
Island baselines
Federal statistics brought home to the moku — and why their SDG labels stay provisional until local research grounds them.
Supply chain governance
Projects managed moku by moku, from planning through operations, with contract evidence and a record you can trace.
Roles & perspectives
The professional profile types, and the public roles each one unlocks within a moku.
