By using sustainable development framework and applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), this study aims at finding important factors (critera) contributing to sustainable development components in BLPT, this study shows that "Utilization of waste for handicraft (ENV22)" has the first rank, "Planting coconut trees on vacant land (ENV12)" locates in the second rank, and "The relationship between land owners with coconut tree growers (SOC22)" in the third rank. It could be said that BLPT has more environmetal and social characters than economic one.
