The sustainability of coastal zone resources could be improved if the management involve the community and stakeholders. The present study aimed to: (a) analyze the correlations between the sustainability of coastal resources at Kupang bay and the ecology, economy, social and spatial arrangement, and management of the area; (b) analyze the management for the sustainability of coastal resources at Kupang bay. A survey method was applied, using a participatory approach. The collected data were analyzed using the generalized structured component analysis (GSCA) method. We found positive correlations between ecology, economic, social, spatial arrangement, and institutional (insignificant) factors and tended to increase the management and the sustainability of the resources on the coastal zone. Thus, better management improves the sustainability of resources. The sustainability targets at Kupang Bay could be achieved by limiting the exploitation of resources and restoring the ecosystem. The major income of the Kupang community was obtained through the skill improvement, the lost local wisdom priority “Songo Songo”, the fisheries sector priority as the basis of area development, the improvement priority on the government role, the regulation priority on the management of Kupang Bay, and the management continuity on preserving the area. © 2017 BIOFLUX SRL.
