ABSTRACT
The paper will focus on the perception of the customers toward the servicescape elements that currently exist in Borma supermarket Dago, this thing is done because the customers is the party that mostly feel the condition of the store servicescape so as we all know the proverb of “customer is the king” then we must know what the king want, moreover by knowing the perception of the customers the management will know which aspect of the servicescape elements rated low by the customers and need an improvement, so if there are elements that felt already enough by the customers then the management don’t need to make a waste renovation that don’t needed by the customers.
The broad objective of the paper is to know what is the gap that currently happens between the existing servicescape quality that exist in the store with the perception of the customers in order to create a superior servicescape quality that is rated “superior” by the customers. By doing so the management will know what the customers think about the servicescape of the store and able to make an improvement according to the customers opinion. So in this paper there are two primary defined objectives that should be accomplished, the first one is to know the perception of the customers toward the existing servicescape elements in the supermarket and the second one is to determine which of the element need an improvement.
The findings shows that most of the customers rated the servicescape quality as an acceptable one, but in order to be more competitive in the supermarket business an improvement is needed in order to achieve a “superior” servicescape condition to satisfy the customers. After all of the analysis the researcher able to make a conclusion that the current servicescape condition of Borma supermarket is fairly acceptable but there are many improvement that should be done in order to make the servicescape even better and satisfy the customers that come into the store.

ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini akan berfokus pada persepsi konsumen terhadap elemen servicescape yang saat ini ada di supermarket Borma Dago, Bandung, hal ini dilakukan karena pelanggan adalah pihak yang paling merasakan kondisi toko servicescape sehingga kita semua tahu pepatah dari " pelanggan adalah raja "maka kita harus tahu apa yang raja inginkan, apalagi dengan mengetahui persepsi pelanggan manajemen akan mengetahui aspek elemen servicescape yang dinilai kurang memuaskan oleh para konsumen dan membutuhkan perbaikan, jadi jika ada unsur yang merasa sudah cukup oleh pelanggan maka manajemen tidak perlu melakukan renovasi yang tidak dirasa dibutuhkan oleh pelanggan.
Tujuan umum dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apa kesenjangan yang saat ini terjadi antara kualitas servicescape ada yang ada di toko dengan persepsi pelanggan dalam rangka menciptakan kualitas servicescape unggul yang dinilai "superior" oleh pelanggan. Dengan demikian manajemen akan mengetahui apa yang pelanggan pikir mengenai servicescape dari toko dan mampu membuat perbaikan menurut pendapat pelanggan. Jadi dalam penelitian ini ada dua tujuan utama yang ditetapkan dan harus dicapai, yang pertama adalah untuk mengetahui persepsi pelanggan terhadap elemen servicescape yang saat ini ada di supermarket dan yang kedua adalah untuk menentukan elemen yang membutuhkan perbaikan.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar pelanggan menilai kualitas servicescape yang ada saat ini masih dapat diterima, tetapi untuk menjadi lebih kompetitif dalam bisnis supermarket suatu upaya peningkatan diperlukan untuk mencapai sebuah kondisi servicescape yang "superior" untuk memuaskan pelanggan. Oleh karena itu peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa masih banyak peningkatan servicescape yang perlu dilakukan di Borma untuk memuaskan pelanggan yang datang.

FOREWORD
Being a student is never interest me in any ways, starts a semester, enter the school at the same time every week and being a nice man who sits and hears the lecturer told me many things I don’t really interested and pass over my mind soon after I pick up my bag and leave the class, waiting for the final exam and finally receive my decent report each semester and it has been running for 16 years. But in the beginning of the semester there is something really interest me which is the internship program that is offered which give me an opportunity to leave the place that I don’t really like the most and come out to the real world where soon I should be.
Doing an internship in Borma is a great new experience that open my eyes to the reality that actually awaits me in the real world, while I have been blind long enough about what world really look like then this moment realize me what I should do soon enough.
That’s why as one token of gratitude for Borma supermarket that give me a chance to do the internship I’ve done my final project based on the internship program about Borma supermarket which hopefully able to give a good suggestion for the management to improve the quality of the supermarket (especially in the servicescape factor).

The success in completing the final project report won’t be possible without the support of God, thanks to his presence and love which allow me to carry on until now, and the support of various party that help either technically and non-technically in completing the process and program, for that the author want to thank:
