Feeding macaques happened increasingly in New Central Cross-Island Highway, Northwest of Yushan National Park, thus the macaque attack on people arose. Therefore, Yushan National Park has trained 40 volunteers to serve people for understanding conservation and education in July, 2007. Our study area ranged from 102K to 108.9K of the Highway, the study period was from summer 2007 to spring 2008, and we focused on 3 different groups of macaques which were fed by tourists. Besides, the macaque-tourist interaction data were randomly recorded (N=2,158) when the action started by people or macaques. The consequences showed that: 1. Macaques had 1.74 times of starting action compared to people, and adult individuals had higher ratio than young ones. Our inference that over a long period of time macaques fed in new Central Cross-Island Highway would look forward to the human appearance and close to tourists voluntarily. 2. After interpretation by volunteers, feeding behavior has markedly descended, and the moving action also became smaller. It is very effective to interpret the concept of conservation to tourists before getting out their cars. 3. It was significant that the smaller moving actions of tourists would bring the lower response strength of macaques. And we analyzed the distance of observation; the macaques expressed more static behaviors while the distance was more than 2 meters. According to the results, we suggest that people should listen to the explanation of volunteers before getting off, and they should keep quiet, watch for any response of macaques, and avoid bigger moving action by themselves. Hopefully, the feeding by tourists and the conflict behaviors between people and macaques will decrease gradually.

碩士 === 開南大學 === 觀光與餐飲旅館學系 === 96 === ABSTRACT
Expanding the activity ranges through natural environments by tourists, the conflict between wildlife and people has become a more serious problem. Feeding macaques happened increasingly in New Central Cross-Island Highway, Northwest of Yushan National Park, thus the macaque attack on people arose. Therefore, Yushan National Park has trained 40 volunteers to serve people for understanding conservation and education in July, 2007. Our study area ranged from 102K to 108.9K of the Highway, the study period was from summer 2007 to spring 2008, and we focused on 3 different groups of macaques which were fed by tourists. Besides, the macaque-tourist interaction data were randomly recorded (N=2,158) when the action started by people or macaques.
The consequences showed that: 1. Macaques had 1.74 times of starting action compared to people, and adult individuals had higher ratio than young ones. Our inference that over a long period of time macaques fed in new Central Cross-Island Highway would look forward to the human appearance and close to tourists voluntarily. 2. After interpretation by volunteers, feeding behavior has markedly descended, and the moving action also became smaller. It is very effective to interpret the concept of conservation to tourists before getting out their cars. 3. It was significant that the smaller moving actions of tourists would bring the lower response strength of macaques. And we analyzed the distance of observation; the macaques expressed more static behaviors while the distance was more than 2 meters.
According to the results, we suggest that people should listen to the explanation of volunteers before getting off, and they should keep quiet, watch for any response of macaques, and avoid bigger moving action by themselves. Hopefully, the feeding by tourists and the conflict behaviors between people and macaques will decrease gradually.
