Co-management is one of the management strategies in which government, private and local sector share their authority/responsibility to manage the resources for the attainment of a specified
goal. This research has taken place in co-management arrangements that were being implemented in the Oil Palm Production in Peat Swamp Soil Project of Bacho Land Settlement Cooperatives (BLSC), Narathiwat Province. The objectives of this research were to identity performance indicators resulting from the co-management arrangements with respect to equity, efficiency and sustainability considerations; to measure perceived changes of these performance indicators; and to relate some socio-econo-mic and attitudinal variables to the significant performance indicators. Using correlation analysis, it was found that all performance indicators exhibited desirable positive perceived changes as the result of the co-management scheme. These variables are age, household size, years of living in the commu-nity, dependence on oil palm as main occupation and income from other sources appeared to have significant correlation coefficients with some of the performance indicators. These variables can be important factors in contributing to the success of the co-management arrangements in the BLSC.
