    Abstract
    Space syntax is an approach to relating to spatial configurations of a building. This study aims to identify and analyze the level of permeability and wayfinding, determining the user's experiences. The research study investigates women and facility complexes concerning space syntax analysis. The case study selected for analysis was the 'Space Salim' Women and Family Facility Complex in Seoul, a cultural center that aims to revive the relationship between family members and female households. Justified graphs and Likert scale numbering are conducted, and the resulting graphs are compared and summarised based on the level of permeability and wayfinding for each user's category. The finding shows that 51% of the whole building spaces are semi-public and easy wayfinding. Visitors have straightforward and clear wayfinding in the case study. The study concludes that the level of permeability and wayfinding in the case study is clear and precise in public and semi-public spaces and has represented a public facility that accommodates gender equality for it has exact, open layouts for all users.
