Spatial Concentration of Syrian Immigrants in Spatial Dynamics and Ethnocultural Context

Abstract

This study examines the spatial dynamics of spatial concentration and the migration process of Syrians who migrated to Turkey as a result of the civil war that from the perspective of Şanlıurfa province of Turkey. More than half a million Syrian migrants emigrated to Şanlıurfa. This study investigates why Syrian immigrants are more concentrated in Şanlıurfa in terms of spatial dynamics. As a result of interviews and observations made with the immigrants and the field actors who have close contact with migrants, the issue was tried to be analyzed. A total of 76 people including immigrants and field actors were interviewed. As a result of the study, it was observed that historical, kinship and tribal relations between target and source settlements; collective memory and social similarities and the social texture of the target settlement were the determining factors in the concentration of Syrian immigrants in Şanlıurfa.
