Abstract:	1. 1. The conclusion drawn from the result of the research work carried out is that the majority of the existing cave dwellings are not warm in winter and are cool in summer. 2. 2. Unless these cave dwellings are improved they are not suitable and pleasant places for people to live in. 3. 3. Therefore the following measures should be taken so as to improve the quality of the cave dwellings: (i) in summer more fresh air should be let in to replace the state air and the air should be dehumidified to solve the problem of being too cool and humid; and (ii) in winter the geothermal energy and the solar energy should be made full use of, in addition, there should be local heating in the cave dwellings.
