Abstract
This study seeks to verify the difference of residents' vitality between communities engaged in countermeasures against agricultural damage by wildlife and the inactive ones.
Sixty-four communities with a total of 2,796 residents in Mie Prefecture were selected as the target of the research on the relation between community activities to chase-away of macaques and the vitality of the communities. The result found that there was a difference in resident's vitality between communities engaged in collective chase-away of macaques and inactive communities.
Similarly,there was a difference in resident's vitality between chase-away activity leaders and other residents.
