In recent years, Syrians whose country have caos due to Syrian civil war that caused the biggest wave of immigration, have taken refuge in neighboring countries, especially to Turkey. As a result of the growth of the caos, there has been activity in the border regions of our country. Nearly 3.5 million immigrants live in our country. This number is very important in terms of Turkey population. This immigration brings some problems. Immigration problems are economic social, political implications. In the light of the problems, in this study we examined Syrian refugees which is today’s current issues. The differences of the language, culture and lifestyle make social adjustment difficult and distorted structures are increasing. Also in the economic sense, for example, there have been significant increases in health expenditures. There are also difficulties in terms of employment. Issue of Syrian refugees which are among the contemporary issues in the framework of the problems that arise is investigated in this study. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the perspective of young people to refugees. For this, data gathered by questionnaire with the help of stratified sampling from the students studying certain faculties at Duzce University and is examined their points of view on the related problems. The aim of the study is to reflect the perspectives of young people in our country to the Syrian refugees. As a result, it was seen that the attitudes of women towards refugees are more positive than men. Also it was seen that the opinions of family and relatives affected the attitudes of individuals. Our study shows that the students from Eastern Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia regions, which are more closely related to immigrants due to their physical proximity, are in a more positive attitude towards refugees.
