| Popis: | 101 Hunting, for the aborigines, is an important way of subsistence and cultural preservation, and their hunting culture in the conservation management has always been controversial. The research data on the geographic spatial patterns of aborigine hunting areas are also relatively rare in Taiwan. This paper is to describe whether the traditional hunting culture of the Ai-Liao group of West Rukai Tribe in the Wutai Township in Pingtung County has the concept in the conservation management. I used in-depth interviews, Global Positioning System and Geographic Information System. I also used a new record method- Global Positioning System Logger- to record the data I need. Preserving and digitizing this information, I can describe the spatial distribution of hunting areas and features, the effect of the traditional culture on these spatial distribution patterns, and the status of patterns of resource use. During the research period I completed a total of six family heritage hunting area, an area of from 0.4 to 18 Km2. In a hunting area, only 2-5trap areas that have intensive hunting activities. There are more than one trap areas in a hunting ground, but every hunting season will only use one trap area. The result shows that the trap area is only 9.3% of the hunting area, but the trap area is only 2.9% used of the whole hunting area during the hunting season. Hunters over the age of 50 are more susceptible to traditional cultural norms. With the relocation of the village and the social structure changed, since 2009, the number of hunters dropped, below the 30-year-old hunter approaches zero. In this research, based on the density of the local muntjac, calculate its sustainable hunting, showing its hunting activities do have the sustainability. Therefore the traditional hunting culture does have the concept of sustainable use. However, the traditional hunting culture had been effect by the policy, economic and religion. These factors seriously affect the traditional hunting culture in the concept of conservation management. |
