Türk Göçmenlerin Avustralya’da Uygulanan Çokkültürcü Politikalara İlişkin Görüşleri

Year 2021, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 188 - 204, 27.12.2021

Abstract

Göçler yolu ile oluşan kültürel çeşitlilik ve farklı kültürler arasındaki ilişkiler üzerine tartışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çeşitli çok-kültürcülük politikaları kültürler arasında uyumu farklı biçimlerde sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, çokkültürcülük politikalarının uygulandığı ülkelerden biri olan Avustralya’daki çok-kültürcülük politikaları ve Avustralya’da yaşayan Türk göçmenlerin bu politikalar üzerine görüşleri analiz edilecektir. Çalışmada saha araştırması ile birlikte literatür taraması verilecektir. Literatür taraması bölümünde, Avustralya’nın çokkültürcülük politikaları tarihsel olarak incelenecektir. Saha araştırması bölümünde, Sydney’de 152 Türk göçmene uygulanan anket sonuçları değerlendirildi.*** Çalışmanın sonunda, Türk göçmenlerinin çok-kültürcülük politikalarının uygulanış biçimine yönelik düşüncelerinin, bu politikaların gönüllü olarak uygulanmasından ziyade zorunluluktan kaynaklanan uygulamalar olduğuna dair olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bunun yanında katılımcıların genel görüşünün Avustralyalıların Türk göçmenleri vatandaş olarak görmeyeceklerine ve daimî olarak göçmen statüsünde değerlendirileceklerine inandıklarına yönelik olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır.

The Views of Turkish Immigrants on Multicultural Policies in Australia: The Impact of Migration Duration

Year 2021, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 188 - 204, 27.12.2021

Abstract

There have been discussions on cultural diversity occurring through migrations and on interrelationships among different cultures. In this context, various multiculturalism policies aim to ensure intercultural harmony in different ways. The paper covers the multicultural policies in Australia, which is one of the countries where multicultural policies are implemented, and the perceptions of Turkish immigrants living in Australia on the policies. The study is supported by literature review as well as field research. In the literature review section Australia’s multicultural policies are historically examined. In the field research section, the results of the survey conducted on 152 Turkish immigrants living in Sydney will be discussed.*** It is concluded that Turkish immigrants consider multicultural policies are implemented compulsorily, not willingly. Besides, the general view of our participants is that Australian people will never consider Turkish immigrants as real citizens. Turkish immigrants in Sydney think that they will always remain in the immigrant status.
