This study aims to analyze the influence of customer experience and perceived value on tourist satisfaction among users of the Sidoarjo City Tour Bus as a form of public tourism transportation service. The Sidoarjo City Tour Bus represents a regional government service innovation intended to support tourism development while improving urban tourism accessibility. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method involving tourists who used the Sidoarjo City Tour Bus. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 99 respondents and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results indicate that customer experience does not have a significant effect on tourist satisfaction, suggesting that the experiences perceived by users are still subjective and not consistently felt by all service users. In contrast, perceived value has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction, making it the most dominant variable in influencing satisfaction among Sidoarjo City Tour Bus users. These findings indicate that tourist satisfaction is more strongly determined by perceptions of benefits, service quality, and the suitability between sacrifices made and benefits received rather than by emotional experience alone. Therefore, this study recommends that the management of the Sidoarjo City Tour Bus and the local government enhance service value through improvements in facilities, information systems and registration processes, as well as optimization of comfort and schedule certainty. These efforts are important to increase tourist satisfaction and to support sustainable tourism development in Sidoarjo Regency.

As a vocational education institution, SMK Swadhipa 1 Natar is required to provide adequate facilities to support the development of its students' technical and practical skills. Although some facilities are already available, student complaints remain regarding the condition, availability, and utilization of these services, particularly those related to information technology.This study aims to analyze the level of student satisfaction with information technology services at SMK Swadhipa 1 Natar using a combination of Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) methods. The study was conducted through a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents selected using stratified random sampling techniques. The data collected were analyzed to determine the overall satisfaction score and identify factors of information technology services that were a priority for improvement. The results of the CSI analysis showed that the level of student satisfaction with school information technology services was in the good category, with an average score of 82%. Furthermore, the results of the IPA analysis revealed that information technology services such as computer services in the school lab, wifi networks, and school websites consisting of school exam applications, student registration applications and information about the school on the website were in the top priority quadrant because they had a high level of importance but their performance was still low. Based on these results, it can be concluded that although in general students stated that they were quite satisfied with the information technology services available, there were several important aspects, especially technology-based information technology services, that needed more attention from the school. Thus, recommendations for improving technological infrastructure and periodic evaluation of educational information technology services can help SMK Swadhipa 1 Natar in improving the quality of educational services and student satisfaction. 

This study examines the influence of work discipline, training, and motivation on employee performance at PDAM Tirta Ayu, Tegal Regency. In a public service organization such as PDAM, employee performance is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction and strengthen institutional competitiveness. A quantitative survey method was used with questionnaires distributed to all 115 employees using a saturated sampling technique, as the entire population was included.

The remaining 15% of satisfaction is influenced by other, unexamined variables. Each of the four tested variables was found to have a statistically significant individual (partial) impact on customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the simultaneous (overall) testing confirmed that these factors collectively have a strong and meaningful effect on how passengers perceive the quality of the rail service. The findings emphasize the importance of consistently improving these specific operational areas to enhance customer experiences. In particular, maintaining service reliability, responding to customer complaints efficiently, improving digital interfaces, and upgrading station facilities can lead to greater satisfaction and potentially increase customer loyalty. The study suggests that service providers like KAI must adopt a customer-centered approach that focuses on both digital and physical aspects of the travel experience to remain competitive in the transportation industry.
