Abstract

This study delves into the nuanced attitudes of the host community in Izmir, Turkey, towards Syrian refugees, employing a robust threat and benefit theoretical model. It scrutinizes the multifaceted factors contributing to perceived threats and benefits, elucidates the reasons behind the variation in these attitudes, identifies the individuals responsible for holding these perspectives, pinpoints the specific contexts in which they manifest, examines the temporal dimension of these attitudes, and dissects the profound impact they have on mutual adaptation processes and the formulation of migration policies. A diverse group of 34 participants from the host community actively engaged in semi-structured interviews, comprising 16 females and 18 males across an age spectrum spanning 19 to 64 years. Thematic analysis methodically uncovered that economic and demographic considerations prominently constitute the bedrock of perceived threats, while conversely, the study illuminated financial contributions as pivotal benefits. The in-depth understanding garnered from this study holds significant promise for fostering enduring mutual adaptation between the host and refugee communities, thereby cultivating a more harmonious coexistence. Additionally, this nuanced insight informs the strategic development of immigration policies, ensuring they align with the evolving dynamics of this complex relationship.
东道国人民对叙利亚难民的态度:一个新的理论视角
本研究深入研究了土耳其伊兹密尔收容社区对叙利亚难民的微妙态度,采用了一个强大的威胁和利益理论模型。它仔细研究了造成感知威胁和利益的多方面因素,阐明了这些态度变化背后的原因,确定了持有这些观点的个人,确定了他们表现出来的具体背景,检查了这些态度的时间维度,并剖析了它们对相互适应过程和移民政策制定的深远影响。来自东道社区的34名参与者积极参与了半结构化访谈,其中包括16名女性和18名男性,年龄范围从19岁到64岁。专题分析系统地揭示了经济和人口因素是感知到的威胁的主要因素,而相反地,研究表明财政捐助是关键的好处。从这项研究中获得的深入理解为促进东道国和难民社区之间持久的相互适应,从而培养更和谐的共存带来了重大希望。此外,这种细致入微的洞察为移民政策的战略发展提供了信息,确保它们与这种复杂关系的不断变化的动态保持一致。
