Özet:

Syrian refugees in Turkey are one of the main issues of the country. Especially in some provinces, the "social events" that occur from time to time between Syrian refugees and the host people are causing worrying consequences. One of the major consequences of the immigration phenomenon is social events. Social events, defined as collective activities by two or more persons for a specific purpose, are important cases that directly affect social life. So far, there have been numerous studies on Syrian refugees. However, these studies show that research on “social events” between host people and Syrian refugees is quite limited. This study aims to reveal the distribution of social events between the Syrian refugees and the host people in Turkey in a time and place perspective. Due to the nature of the study, the document analysis technique included among the quality research methods has been used. The news on the "social event" in the press on Syrian refugees is the main source of data of the study. As a result, a quantitative and spatial status of the social events of the Syrian refugees concerned was identified between 2011 and 2020. Despite the increase in the number of Syrian refugees in Turkey, the number of social events has declined. It can be said that a successful result has been shown in terms of the policies, organization and crisis management implemented in Turkey regarding immigration.

Özet:

Syrian refugees in Turkey constitute one of the crucial subjects in the country. One of the important consequences of the phenomenon of migration is social incidents. In certain Turkish cities, social incidents between refugees and local people had occasional distressing consequences. Social incidents, defined as the collective activities carried out by two or more people for a specific purpose, are critical cases that directly affect social life. It is seen that many studies have been carried out on the issue of refugees. However, studies that examine the issue of “social incidents,” which occurred occasionally between the local population and refugees, are quite limited. This paper aims to show the distribution of social incidents in terms of time and place, which took place between local people and refugees. Document analysis technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. News on “social incident” about Syrian refugees constitute the main data source of the study. As a result, a quantitative and spatial situation assessment was created and related to social incidents between 2011 and 2020. Despite the increasing number of refugees in Turkey, it was found that there was a decrease in the number of social incidents. We can contend that the Turkish Government achieved a successful result on immigration concerning crisis management and organizational ability.
