摘要

本研究選擇新中橫公路之102K至108.9K路段之三群被餵食的獼猴作為人猴互動研究的主體，進行調查時間為2007年夏季至2008年春季，並以掃描取樣及行為取樣的方式隨機記錄2,158筆遊客與獼猴間之互動情形。研究結果顯示獼猴先有動作之次數為遊客之1.74倍，而成猴參與較其他年齡層個體為高，我們的推論為新中橫地區被長期餵食的獼猴，會期待人類的出現，主動接近遊客。遊客動作幅度較小的行為，獼猴反應強度也較低，有顯著的關係。我們建議遊客遇見野生獼猴時，須保持較為安靜、小幅度的動作，並接受解說人員的宣導不要餵食，避免獼猴強烈的反應，導致遊客被攻擊的現象。

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: Macaques had 1.74 times of starting action compared to people, and adult individuals had higher ratio than young ones. We 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. Also, It was significant that the smaller moving actions of tourists would bring the lower response strength of macaques. 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.
