Pp. 3–20 in #31 — based on a 1988 questionnaire survey of some communities (Batek, Chewong, Jah Het, Orang Hulu, Semai, Semaq Beri, Semelai, Temiar, Temuan) and a few of the middlemen. Concerns of the survey: sustainability of rattan stocks and Orang Asli’s income dependence on rattan; however, gives no concrete proposals for how to protect the resource base. A rare attempt to systematically examine how a single resource is used by communities with different degrees of dependence on the forest [LTP].

With a short vocabulary, anthropometric measurements, and eight photographs. [LTP]
424. KOH Bee Hong. 1978. The flow of energy in an Orang Asli community. B.A. Grad. Ex., Department of Anthropology and Sociology, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur — examines how energy is obtained and used by Temuan of Sg. Lui. Energy flow is operationalized in terms of “inputs” (food intake, use of kerosene, wood and other fuels) and “outputs” (daily activities). ATR #1680 comments on the author’s diligence in weighing food intake and observing activities of three Temuan households. Shows their average daily protein intake, much of itobtained from a wide variety of wild sources, is generally considerably above national recommended minimum levels. [LTP]
