Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Understanding Location Choice of Syrian Refugees From Country To Neighbourhood Level: Opportunities, Restrictions and Expectations(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi HalilogluThis study aimed to delve into distinct strands of the location choice (LC) of Syrian refugees by uncovering its determinants at country, city and neighbourhood levels from the narratives, along with the help of content analysis. Findings providing an aggregate explanation of the Syrian emplacement process revealed that Syrian refugees in Turkey, as active agents in the process, make their destination choices within opportunities and restrictions of different scales through the contribution of other agents, places and processes. Findings emphasizing time-and context-specific features -the transitivity, interrelatedness and multi-dimensionality (legal, economic, socio-cultural and spatial) of determinants of LC -showed that the opportunities and restrictions of LC influence Syrians' future expectations.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Decoding the Impact of Covid-19 on Everyday Life Practices of Syrian Refugees: an Investigation at the Neighbourhood Level(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. EzgiThis study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the neighbourhood level on the everyday life practices of Syrian refugees and the potential reasons for virus transmission in their settlements. It is based on fieldwork in an ethnic enclave of Ankara, which revealed comparative insights into everyday life practices of Syrians before and after the outbreak, their perceptions, reactions and strategies towards the pandemic and its countermeasures. Their religious beliefs, socio-cultural structure, social networks and economic struggles have significant effects on their perceptions and practices in pandemic times; together with their living and working conditions, this may create risks of virus transmission. The degradation in their employment status, interruptions in donations and increase in expenditures resulted in decreases in living standards. The outbreak, negatively influencing their use of public services and some parts of social life created new inequalities and stressors but empowered their social support system and virtual networking capacities.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Understanding the Local Dynamics of Syrian Refugee Integration Through the Eyes of Refugees and Local Residents: the Case of the Onder Neighbourhood, Ankara(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Gungordu, Feriha Nazda; Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. EzgiAs the civil war in Syria continues and the displaced Syrians continue to become 'urban refugees' in their settled (host) countries since 2011, policy/political attention has shifted to refugee emplacement and integration. Despite the growing policy-oriented literature on integration, limited attention has gone to developing actor-oriented approaches to uncover the local dynamics of refugee integration by giving a voice to both refugees and local people. Attempting to address this gap in the literature, this article presents the views of Syrian refugees and local people on the integration process through the findings of a case study conducted in the onder neighbourhood of Ankara, Turkey; known as 'Little Aleppo.' The findings portray the social, economic, political and spatial dimensions of Syrians' integration at the local level from both parties' perspectives and reveal the local drivers of and barriers to Syrians' integration in Onder.
