Quantitative and qualitative theories and techniques, such as semantic, perceptional, syntactic, and so on, have been employed for many years in urban and building scale spatial analysis. Decoding the complex and multi-layered presence of public places, as well as the addition of syntheses and outputs to design knowledge, is critical. The quantification of logical relations for the use of geometry in computational architecture, as well as the integration of scientific thinking and methodology, has been highlighted by Kotnik. There is few research on how to model and exploit spatial patterns effectively in relation to function and time. In terms of spatial configuration analysis, mathematical analysis methodologies combined with architectural knowledge and conclusions will provide various possibilities for the design process. In this respect, the aim of the research is to consider the option of combining chronotop and entropy approaches as a qualitative and quantitative analysis method on halvets from various hamams that have a similar function, spatial and geometric concept. The study utilizes a sample group of Istanbul bazaar hamams to investigate the integrated use potentials and limitations of morphological, topological, and chronotopic techniques within the framework of space analysis. The fact that the hamams are formed in a certain typology and have the feature of public space supports the interpretation of entropy and syntax values together with motifs. Space syntax, entropy and chronotopic analyzes were made in the study, which was carried out with 17 hamams selected in accordance with Eyice's hamam typology. First of all, the plan and section drawings of the hamams were organized and recreated for the data set and new drawings for analysis were produced by using these drawings as a base. Numerical analyzes were carried out in the Rhino/Grasshopper environment through an analysis algorithm created with script code and visual coding based on literature formulas, and were compiled as graphical and table output files. The collected analysis data were synthesized using statistical and graphical analyses based on the sample categorization variables of typology, scale, function, period, and chronotope. When the data are compared to the research questions, it is clear that the values for the halvets at the spatial scale have strong and meaningful correlations with the chronotopic motifs, whereas the hamams at the building scale show significant/meaningless relationships.
