Out of 10 criteria, one criterion namely environmental goals can beaccepted (with score ≥ 3) in the five villages. Two criteria namely the economic purpose and landmanagement can be accepted in four villages. The next two criteria namely social objectives andmarketing support can be accepted in two villages. Two other criteria, namely waste managementand climate/weather management can only be accepted by one village. Three criteria have notbeen acceptable to all villages, namely crop management, cattle management, and institutionalmanagement.
