The spatial layout that the shop has designed is still considered less effective and efficient. Due to the placement of the freezer which is not visible to customers and the refrigerator which blocks the cashier, it disturbs customers in the payment process. The methods used are the ARC (Activity Relationship Chart) and TCR (Total Closeness Rating) methods. The results of this research show that the cashier has the highest score from the TCR calculation results, namely 168 and has an influence on the course of shop activities using the TCR worksheet, as well as the proposed placement of the freezer right next to the entrance so it is not visible and the refrigerator blocks the cashier from being moved to another row of refrigerators, so that work and activities can run as they should.

this research is motivated by the discovery of problems related to eWOM, hotel image and purchasing decisions. This type of quantitative research with a causal associative approach (cause and effect) using survey methods. The types of data used are primary and secondary data. The population in this study were guests who had stayed and were staying at Aston batam Hotel & Residence. The sample in the study totaled 120 guests with a sample determination technique, namely non probability sampling. Techniques for collecting data through a questionnaire (questionnaire) using a Likert scale that has been tested for validity and reliability. The data from this study were processed with the help of SPSS 18.00. The results of the study show that the eWOM variable is in the good category based on statistical calculations with an average TCR value of 81.5. The hotel image variable is in a good category based on statistical calculations with an average TCR value of 80.4. The Purchasing Decision variable is in the good category based on statistical calculations with an average TCR value of 80.84. At the eWOM (X1) value, Beta or Standardized Coefficient was achieved, namely 0.388 accompanied by T count (4.817) where significance was achieved 0.000 <0.05, so the eWOM variable (X1) contributed a positive and also significant influence on purchasing decisions (Y), then the hypothesis of hotel image research (X2) achieved Beta or Standardized Coefficient whose value was 0.536 accompanied by T count (6.654) where significance was achieved 0.000 <0.05, so the hotel image variable (X2) contributed a positive and also significant influence on purchasing decisions (Y). Next, the Adjusted R Square number whose value is 0.791 means that the contribution of the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable is 79.1%, while the remaining 20.9% is influenced by other variables.

Efficiency problems in spatial planning at LSU Farm have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the production process. The proximity of raw material storage warehouses to sorting and packaging zones results in congestion that disrupts product flow and quality, as well as triggering backtracking and line crossings that are detrimental to materials management. To overcome this, the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) method was applied which considers interactions between critical areas such as inbound, sort & repack, outbound, warehouse, employees, cold storage and outdoor offices. ARC's analysis compares the importance of connections between facilities for easier access and consumer convenience, as well as reducing unnecessary movements and improving quality control. The analysis results show that the sort & repack area with the highest Total Closeness Rating (TCR) value (117) is a priority in layout reorganization. Based on these findings, it is recommended that production input warehouses be positioned further away from sorting and packaging areas to maintain product quality and avoid chemical contamination, in line with improving overall operational efficiency.

Retail business is a business that sells a variety of products, such as daily necessities, household needs, fashion products, beauty, and electronics.
