Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
This study aims to explore how perceptions of local food (food image) and consumer satisfaction with culinary experiences (food satisfaction) influence the perception of the culinary quality of the area and how these factors influence consumer behavior, such as intention to revisit or recommend. This study was conducted in Sampang Regency, an area known for its rich culinary heritage. The study population was local culinary consumers who had visited Pak Salim's Bebek Songkem restaurant located in Sampang Regency. Purposive sampling was used to determine respondents with a sample of 193 respondents. Structural equations were used as the analysis method using Smart PLS 4.0. Data were collected through a survey distributed to consumers who enjoyed Bebek Songkem. The study findings revealed that food image had a significant positive effect on culinary quality, while food satisfaction played an important role in strengthening this perception. In addition, food image and food satisfaction significantly influenced behavioral intentions, with higher culinary quality leading to a greater likelihood of positive consumer actions such as revisits and recommendations. These results underscore the importance of improving the image and satisfaction of local culinary experiences to promote Sampang as a culinary destination. This research offers practical insights for local businesses and policy makers in developing strategies to enhance culinary tourism and culinary experiences in the region.
