Participation to the public life and becoming organized at local level in Romani settlements in Izmir

Sosyal yapı içerisinde çok farklı etnik öğeleri barındıran Ülkemizde, kendilerine özgü renkli kültürleri ile Romanlar öne çıkmaktadır. Yoğun olarak yaşadıkları bölgelerde başta cemiyetler olmak üzere eğlence hayatındaki müzik ve dans kültürünü derinden etkileyen Romanlar genel mesleklerin dışında kendilerine has bir takım mesleklerle de sosyo-ekonomik yaşama katılmaktadır. Çalışmada Çanakkale İli Merkez İlçe’de bulunan Fevzipaşa Mahallesinde ikamet eden Romanların karşılaştıkları sorunları analiz etmek amacıyla nitel bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kartopu örnekleme yöntemi ile ilk etapta 3 Roman vatandaş ile pilot uygulama yapılmış, daha sonrasında 28 kişiye daha ulaşılarak toplamda 31 Roman vatandaşı ile görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; Romanların en temel problemlerinin iş bulma sürecinde yaşadıkları sorunlar olduğu görülmüştür. Sosyal yardımların arttırılması beklentisinde olan Romanların, toplumsal yaşamdaki konumları çalışma içerisinde vurgulanmaktadır.

The scholarly investigation of Roma communities in Türkiye has intensified since the 2000s, largely driven by Türkiye’s EU accession candidacy and subsequent adaptation process. This alignment, along with internal developments, prompted governments to prioritize Roma issues, implement projects, and issue action plans. The Roma Civil Society Movement in the 1990s further highlighted Roma challenges, resulting in a diverse body of literature. This study critically examines academic literature to map prevailing trends and thematic foci. Key areas of scholarly engagement include the various dimensions of socio-economic exclusion faced by Roma in education, employment, housing, and health. Additionally, scholars analyze how Roma negotiate and resist pejorative representations, construct their identities, and organize to address contemporary challenges. State policies affecting Roma, from past to present, also receive considerable attention. By critically engaging with this scholarship, the present study highlights significant progress and ongoing challenges in Romani Studies in Türkiye, offering insights into future research directions.
