近年來登山活動日益發達，相對上山難發生的比率也會隨著增高。山岳自然環境相當脆弱、敏感，若登山者對環境所抱持之態度不當，則其行為將會直接對自然環境造成衝擊，也會使自己陷入危機當中。為追求山岳活動品質的提昇及減少對環境的衝擊，針對登山者來推動登山安全與環境教育是為一重要課題。本研究的目的在探討不同個人背景的登山者，其參與動機與登山風險認知的差異，並研究登山者的登山風險認知與對環境之態度之間是否相關，進而減少因認知不足所導致的山難事件。研究地點選取臺中市雪山東峰線登山者為研究樣本，其中雪山主峰（海拔3,886m）是臺灣第二高峰，也是位於雪霸國家公園境內的最高峰。另外在網路上也進行問卷調查，以補足調查期間因下雨導致受訪者不足之數量。最後，本研究結果，為了降低登山風險與安全的考量下，登山安全與環境教育是值得予以推廣。

With the development of mountain climbing in the last few years, the Number of climbing accidents also increases dramatically. It is possible that the inappropriate attitudes of some climbers might cause direct impacts to the sensitive and vulnerable mountain environment and bring problems. In order to raise the quality of mountain climbing activities and minimize the environmental impacts, it is important to develop mountaineering security and environmental education for climbers. The purpose of the study was to discuss the differences of the participating motivation to climbing risks from the climbers owing to various kinds of backgrounds. It also examined whether the climbing risks and environmental attitude have relationships with each other. More than that, the study also wanted to find a way to decrease mountain climbing accidents because of the climbers' lack in understanding climbing risks. Purposive samplings used to select the climber of the East Xue Trail in Taichung City as the research sample. At 3,886 meters, Xue Mountain is the second highest peak in Taiwan. It is also the highest peak within the Shei-Pa National Park. Moreover, to make up a deficiency of the sampling amount, people can also fill out the questionnaires through the internet. The findings of the study support the importance of mountaineering security and environmental education in order to lower the risks and increase the safety of mountain climbing.
