Abstract
Space syntax is a method of analyzing the relationship between spaces. In analyzing a building's spaces, the spatial configuration plays a significant role in analyzing permeability and wayfinding. The study analyses users' level of permeability and wayfinding for mixed-used buildings, a museum hotel typology. The Museum Hotel Antakya, Turkey, was chosen as the case study due to its typology of a museum on the ground floor that sits on the archaeological site and a three (3) story hotel on the upper floor. Based on the graph of space syntax, the measurable scale of hotel guests and museum visitors, the Linkert scale, and the spatial configuration analysis show that overall, the level of wayfinding and permeability for this building being the mixed-used with prominent dual usage is infrequent when it comes to the area and spaces that mixed both uses but in spaces that is clear in its usages such as the museum at the ground floor and the hotel at the upper floor, the level of permeability and wayfinding is straightforward.
