Suriyeli Sığınmacılarla Birlikte Yaşama Deneyimi Bağlamında Algı ve Görüşler: Twitter Üzerinden Suriyelilerin Sosyal Temsili

The aim of the research is to indicate, in the context of Turkish society's experience of living together, which subjects are related to the perceptions and views about the Syrians and whether or not it’s affected by the current issues. The target population of the research using the phenomenological research design as a method is the 6449 tweets which are tweeted with the Hashtag of “Syrian” on 16th January 2016 and, on the other hand, the research sample is the 1231 tweets which are endorsed to the analysis. The reason for choosing this date is the title tag “{\#}Syrian” entered the country's agenda with distorted news about employment to the Syrians by İŞKUR. According to the findings obtained from the research, however, the Hashtag “Syrian” entered the country's agenda due to a reason which is about the rights to work and economy in the comments about Syrians. At first, it was seen as a perception stemming from living together ranked, xenophobia and hate speech ranked second, the reasons for the acceptance or rejection of Syrians to the country ranked third, and the comments about the right to work ranked fourth. In conclusion, the main reason for the perceptions and criticisms towards Syrians is the factors related to the experience of living together rather than the right to work and economic issues. This shows that the determiner of the perception towards Syrians stems from the fact that they are positioned as the “other”.
