ʻĀina: Life on Land
Āina Design Corp is a Hawai‘i‑based nonprofit organization that designs, builds, and maintains data infrastructure for community‑based planning and supply‑chain coordination. Grounded in ecological education and applied research, the organization develops systems organized by moku, Hawai‘i’s traditional land districts, to support regionally meaningful planning and stewardship.
Designed, built and operated by ADC
Featured Network: Mokunet
Mokunet is a knowledge‑graph–based data infrastructure that organizes Hawai‘i’s islands as one shared, trusted map structured by their 33 traditional moku. The platform integrates community‑contributed information with verified public datasets, creating a governed environment where land‑use, stewardship, supply‑chain, and facilities data can be linked, queried, and maintained over time.
