Kebumen tourism is dominated by south coast destination objects with combat routes ranging from half to two hours drive from the city center. Since 2015 tourist visits  have increased, but on average only 14%. This is not comparable with the budget issued by the government to date which focuses on tourism infrastructure and the opening of new objects, especially coastal areas. According to preliminary studies the cause is because of visitor dissatisfaction with the quality of services provided, especially coastal tourism. So as to provide recommendations for improvements in tourism services in this study, the quality function deployment (QFD) method is based on servqual evaluation specifically for tourism dimensions. There are 43 variables used to define the quality of service dimensions of tourism for visitors. By using additional kano models, 12 critical variables were obtained. Then the critical variable produces 16 technical responses through the house of quality method for later as a recommendation for improvement. With the priority of repairs are; making tourist management SOPs, adding cleaners, and adding a viewing post/spot

Perceptions And Expectations

Minimizing the gap and ensuring agreement between patients’ perceptions and expectations is an indication of a better quality of hospital services. This study aimed to examine the agreement between patients’ perceptions and expectations of the quality of hospital services. A cross-sectional design was adopted, and quantitative methods were employed for data collection. The SERVAQUAL tool was used. The sample size was 415 participants. This study was conducted in Jordanian teaching hospitals. The study population was patients who used outpatient clinics in these hospitals. The study found that there is very low agreement between patients’ expectation and their perceptions. Overall, the perceived service quality was significantly lower than the expected service quality across all of the dimensions used to measure the service quality gap (reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles). The results suggest regional variation, where patients who sought care at hospitals in Amman have a four-fold higher perception of the quality of services than patients who visited Irbid hospitals. Also, patients who are more highly educated (Diploma, Bachelor, or Higher Studies) have a higher perception than patients who have less than secondary education. Age and gender were found to have no significant association with patients’ perceptions. The findings of this study suggest that there is a gap between patients’ perceptions and expectations. Thus, there is a need to close this gap by improving patient satisfaction with the quality of services.

In this paper, evaluation of service quality is assessed through five gaps (gap 1untill gap 5) that occurred. This evaluation is done by distributing questionnaires to customers (110 respondents) and to the employee (85 respondents). Then, the results of these evaluation are placed in the quadrants contained on Importance Performance Matrix (IPM) (mapped) in order to capture the attributes that really matter to the satisfaction of the customers but their performance is still very low (negative). Result of this mapping shows that the Patra Semarang Convention Hotel should focus its quality improvement services to the five important attributes, i.e: easiness to access the information from internet, clarity of delivery of new information by employee, cleanliness of the hotel, availability of adequate parking area, and speed of employees in responding to the consumer complaints. All this important attributes will be a priority in product planning for improvements the quality of services provided.

The establishment of Agri clinics and Agribusiness Centers is a Government of India Scheme implemented through NABARD and MANAGE, Hyderabad for promotion of rural entrepreneurship through effective training and handholding of the graduate youth.  Agri-Clinics are intended to provide expert advice and services to farmers on various aspects to improve crop/animal yield and increase farmers’ revenue. This study was conducted to assess the quality of services provided by the Agri clinics and agribusiness centers in the union territory of Puducherry. 90 farmers were personally interviewed using the service quality instrument - SERVQUAL to explore their expectation and perception of service quality provided by the Agri -clinics and agribusiness centers. The results indicated that the level of quality of the services provided by the Agri clinics is not to the expected level of the sample farmers i.e., all perception ratings were lower than their expectation scores. In all five dimensions of service quality, a gap was observed between farmers’ perceptions and expectations: Tangible: -0.93, Reliability: -0.89, Responsiveness: -0.78, Assurance: - 0.58, Empathy: -0.61. The results indicated that much more service improvement activities are needed for improving the service quality. The Agri-clinics need to modernize facilities and equipment to reduce the gap between farmers' perceptions and expectations.
