This chapter presents the statistical results collected from the questionnaire surveys and oral
interviews conducted in Gua Gunung Runtuh, Gua Kajang and Gua Harimau. The
questionnaire surveys and interviews were aimed at investigating the social significance of
the caves by examining how the long-term interaction between the local community and the
caves influenced local traditions, beliefs, lifeways and community collective memories.
Overall, the questionnaire surveys showed that these caves were associated with many social
events, as well as affecting local living traditions, economic activities and beliefs in many
ways. The questionnaire surveys and interviews also revealed how local people ascribe
meanings to these caves through local stories, as well as how they appreciate the caves
through their past interactions with them. Added to this, the oral interviews revealed different
insights into how these caves influenced local beliefs and how contemporary living traditions
were closely associated with these caves.
