Compulsory Migration From Syria to Gaziantep and Reviews About Residences

Abstract

As the staying duration of the refugees who come from Syria to Gaziantep prolonged, the need for residence together with the need for shelter came up. This city, which received internal migration previously and which already had an intense squatting problem, increased its housing demand further with the fast migration of Syrian refugees to the city and unfortunately had to open up even the unhealthy, unused structures to be used. This study aims to identify the lifestyle, family structure, economic condition, type of housing, and places that refugees use both in Syria and in Gaziantep in order to solve the housing problem more optimally, to compare and evaluate the condition and use of the cultural and social areas available around residences, and to shed light on the housing projects which will be built later. As a result, the size of the residences which Syrians use decreased. If new structures which will be preferred also by Syrians will be built, the green areas and social facilities of these structures should be structured. As apartment type structures are preferred more, more number of rooms and the separate design of the bathroom and WC should also be organized.

Exploring major roadblocks on inclusive education of Syrian refugees in school settings

“…Turkey, as a neighbor country of Syria, couldn't be unconcerned with this situation and took over the responsibility by implementing an 'open gate policy'. So, Turkey became the country receiving the most intensive migration with this policy after the civil war in Syria (Bakbak, 2018). Within open gate policy, Syrian refugees were given temporary protection status and it was set out in an unpublished Ministry of the Interior circular issued in March 2012 (Amnesty International, 2014).…”
