The harmonious society can be created as a result of integrating the immigrants within the community. Integration is closely related to the settlement duration besides other factors. This article aims to make the analysis of the integration level among Turkish immigrants in Australia depending upon their settlement durations. This study includes literature research as well as field research. In the part of literature research, the case of Australia's migration and the migration story of Turkish people will be discussed from a historical perspective. In the field research, the results of the survey conducted to 152 Turkish immigrants living in Sydney will be discussed.

Yerleşim Süresinin Avustralya'daki Türk Göçmenlerin Entegrasyon Seviyesine Etkisi

Öz

Göçler yolu ile meydana gelen veya uluslararası göç alan toplumların temel ilgisi farklı kültürlerin birbirleri ile uyum içerisinde yaşamasını sağlayabilmektir. Birbirleri ile uyumlu-ahenkli bir toplum, göçmenlerin entegrasyonu ile gerçekleştirilebilir. Entegrasyon, göç edilen ülkede yaşama süresi ile yakından ilişkilidir. Bu makalede Türk göçmenlerin Avustralya'da yerleşme süreleri göz önünde bulundurularak entegrasyon seviyelerine ilişkin bir analiz yapılacaktır. Bu çalışmada literatür taraması ve saha araştırmasının sonuçları yer alacaktır. Literatür taraması kısmında Avustralya'nın ve Avustralyalı Türklerin göç hikayeleri tarihsel olarak incelenecektir. Saha araştırması bölümünde, Sydney'de 152 Türk göçmene uygulanan anket sonuçları değerlendirilecektir. Çalışmanın sonunda, Türk göçmenlerin entegrasyonunun tamamlanmadığı görülmektedir.
