Özet:

Immigration, a phenomenon that is as old as human history, is a demand or involuntarily changing the living place. Whatever the reason for the emergence, immigrants adaptation to space, interaction, and how they change the space are important facts to examine. Because space, in which economic, social, political and power relations exist, is a socially produce. In Turkey since the 1990s, with the advent of different migrant and refugee groups it was gradually transformed into an immigration adopted country. The third period in our acceptance of immigration has been the mass migration of the Syrians, which began with the Syrian civil war in March 2011. In this sense, Hatay is one of the cities where the Syrians live intensively and is one of the most convenient urban laboratories to examine the migration process. Migrants have brought a social and spatial cluster in Hatay. The aim of this research is to analyze how the Syrian migrants, living outside the camps in Hatay, are using the urban space, to examine the distribution and integration of the Syrians in space and to identify the socio-economic relations that arise in the space. The main problem of this study is to understand that whether it is possible to bring together Syrians and local people in a common social and cultural values.
