(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Bucak, Hakan; Erdoğan, Emre
In 2011 due to the civil war in Syria, Syrian citizens, emigrated to multitudes of nations, this paper specifıcally focuses on the migrants within Turkey. There has been a massive movement that has displaced millions of people and it is thought that the attitude and behaviors of the local people are shaped within the framework of the contacts established between local people and refugees. it can be argued that the threat perceptions of refugees within the far reaches of the Turkish nation will decrease depending on the contact level between the two disparate groups. The factors that determine the behavior of people towards refugees in this study are covered within the scope of Integrated Threat Theory. Socio-demographic characteristics and differentiating perceptions of society according to the opinions of the refugees are evaluated. A total of 399 participants from fourteen neighborhoods in Haliliye and Eyyübiye, one of the districts of Şanlıurfa, where Syrian refugee density is highest were surveyed. According to the fındings obtained from this research, the people of the region generally consider Syrian refugees as a threat towards their social lifestyle, wealth and security. However, the public's negative perception towards refugees is decreasing due to increased contact between the two groups.
