Description
Summary:The phenomenon of social tension is a social problem that is affected by the social reality in which one exists and at the same time shapes social cohesion in terms of its results. This study addresses Syrians under temporary protection in Türkiye who are alleged to be parties to new tensions and conflicts in Turkish cities based on the sociology of social tensions and conflicts. In addition to studies on the relationships between migration and crime in the literature, this study focuses on how international immigrants experience the phenomenon of social tension. In this context, the study attempts to understand how social tension is experienced through the observations and experiences of international immigrants as a subject in society (i.e., Syrians) regarding the environment in which they live. The study aims to understand the characteristics that determine Syrians’ experiences with social tension. The data collection process has been constructed using an epistemological hermeneutic approach. The research also aims to understand the causes behind the social tension Syrians experience. The study is conducted using the qualitative research method and interviews Syrians under temporary protection status. The environmental, economic, and social themes that build the space are understood to play a role in the experience of social tension, and these factors have been determined to affect social tension through discourses with a structural appearance.
