Book Part Mediated Narratives of Syrian Refugees: Mapping Victim-Threat Correlations in Turkish Newspapers(Routledge, 2025) Tunç Cox, Ayça; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyTurkey has become the first and main transition hub for Syrian refugees. Furthermore, Turkey is spatially as well as culturally simultaneously referred to as European and Asian or Middle Eastern depending the point of view. Therefore, the representation of refugees in the Turkish press proves significant for the knowledge produced about refugees. Accordingly, this chapter strives to investigate the coverage of Syrian refugees in newspapers, which constitutes only one aspect of the overall reception of the issue in Turkey, and therefore does not claim to be exhaustive. Yet, because daily newspapers are still among the most important media sectors in Turkey, they constitute a special case of knowledge production worth investigating.Article Fragile Solidarity Amid Urban Exclusion: Syrian Refugees and Neighborhood Life in a Historic District of İzmir, Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Aksoy, Sadullah; Turk, Ali; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis article explores how Syrian refugees experience neighboring and community relations in Basmane, a marginalized district in & Idot;zmir, T & uuml;rkiye. While neighborhood ties have weakened in modern urban life, exclusionary urban zones often foster stronger solidarity. Yet, how refugees form neighborly bonds within such zones remains unclear. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the study examines how neighborhood relations are shaped by spatial confinement, economic precarity, and social exclusion. Findings reveal fragmented solidarity, limited place attachment, and constrained mobility. The article contributes to urban migration research by highlighting the ambiguous nature of belonging in spaces of forced settlement and involuntary urban segregation.
