Özet:

Diasporic groups are immigrant groups who experience two countries simultaneously. They maintain their ties with the economic, social and political networks of the country they come from, as well as being very dynamic within those networks. Although the word ‘diaspora’ means immigrant groups who have been displaced and made to live transnationally, immigrant groups who have displaced themselves voluntarily also live among themselves and belong to the diaspora with their social networks. Therefore, today, the meaning of diaspora implies a larger extent in terms of the groups it consists of. This study talks about the locational organizations of the Turkish descendant immigrants (who came from Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Afghanistan and East Turkestan, namely the consanguineous diaspora, in Zeytinburnu district of Istanbul. The study touches upon how they have formed groups among themselves and what kinds of organizational structures they have built in the location. In this study, the concept of diaspora has been looked into from a locational and organizational viewpoint. Zeytinburnu is one of the areas in which consanguineous migration is very dense in terms of location. Turkish descendant immigrants who came from different geographies have formed separate connections and networks and are now defined by their streets or neighbourhoods. Zeytinburnu district has become a central location for the Turkish descendant diaspora in Istanbul, in fact, in Turkey.
