Investigation of Perceptions of Afghan Immigrants Living in the TRA1 Sub-Region within the Scope of International Migration about the Region
The world is experiencing the worst immigrant crisis since the Second World War; millions of people have been displaced and forced to migrate. The immigrant problem, one of the most important consequences of forced migration, is one of the most important issues in the international arena. One of the countries most affected by this problem is undoubtedly Turkiye. The aim of the article is to investigate the phenomenon of migration, which is one of the issues that affect Turkiye the most in the national and international arena, in the context of social acceptance. It is obvious that harsh solutions to the immigrant problem with strict rules are not only inappropriate for humanity but will also deepen the problem rather than solve it, and damage the image of Turkiye in the international arena. Therefore, the most fundamental solution to be developed is to ensure social acceptance through suggestions to be developed on soft ground. This is only possible if immigrants are recognized and their perceptions and efforts are known. In the study, The Perceptions of Afghan Immigrants living in TRA1 Level 2 (Erzurum, Erzincan, Bayburt) region about the Region were investigated. The study was conducted using the grounded theory method. In this method, the problem is heard directly from the interlocutors and the hypothesis is obtained by analyzing the data obtained. In this study, a data pool was created through in-depth interviews and semi-structured questionnaires with immigrants from Afghanistan living in the TRA1 region, and then these data were analyzed in accordance with the grounded theory method. With the results obtained, it is aimed to make an academic contribution to integration studies by revealing the perceptions of immigrants about the region.
