One of the concerns raised after the earthquakes of February 2023 is the possible serious impacts of earthquakes on Syrian refugees. Within this framework, this study aimed to examine the location choice processes of Syrian refugees in reference to earthquake hazards and risks. To do this, it evaluated the location choice decisions of Syrians at the city, settle-ment area and housing scales together with their social char-acteristics. The researcher's own studies on location choice, everyday life, residential satisfaction, integration and quality of life of Syrian refugees, and related research in the literature, as well as statistical data obtained from the website of the Presidency of Migration Management, were synthesized to reach hints about earthquake hazards and risks at different scales and dimensions. The findings of the study indicated that the majority of the Syrian population is dispersed in earthquake -prone cities, which increases earthquake risks for both the Syrian population and these cities. On the other hand, the lack of housing and settlement policies for Syrian refugees scattered throughout Turkish cities has forced them to take responsibility for meeting their own housing needs. This has led Syrian refugees having limited financial resources to resettle in poor/underdeveloped and/or illegal settlement areas of cities where they live in low-quality, neglected, unhealthy, and structurally problematic houses having disaster risks. Moreover, Syrians' large family size, vulnerable groups including women, children and elders, and our inadequate knowledge on Syrian refugees due to their unauthorized movements within and between cities and their unregistered groups have increased their risk of being adversely affected by earthquakes. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/8441 Decoding the impact of covid-19 on everyday life practices of Syrian refugees: an investigation at the neighbourhood level Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. Ezgi This 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. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/8388 Using user-centered design approach in course design Haliloğlu Kahraman, Zerrin Ezgi User-centered design approach is a contemporary design approach which actively involves users at every stage of the design process for the development of more effective, efficient and safe products. This paper is based on a case study that attempts to adapt this approach into course design in order to increase the effectiveness of teaching, and the learnability and success of university students. The paper discusses the phases of the designing process including analysis of student needs, limitations and expectancies in the teaching process, designing teaching activities, and assessment of students about courses designed with respect to user-centered design approach. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/8383 Zorunlu Göç Ve Dayanıklılık Planlaması: Türkiye’nin Suriye Zorunlu Göçü Deneyimi Altay Kaya, Deniz İnsanların yaşadıkları yerleri terk etmeleri ya da yerlerinden edilmelerini içeren zorunlu göç süreçleri, günümüzde giderek sıklaşan ve şiddetlenen ekolojik, politik, ekonomik ve toplumsal krizler sebebiyle artmakta ve küresel ölçeğe ulaşabilen etkiler yaratmaktadır. Dayanıklılık (Resilience) yaklaşımı, içinde bulunduğumuz bu krizler çağında, kent/bölge ve toplumların birer sistem olarak, beklenmedik şok ve streslere karşı hazırlıklı olmaları, bunların etkileriyle baş edebilmeleri ve değişen koşullara kendilerini geliştirerek uyumlanmalarını sağlayacak özellik, beceri ve kapasitelerin önemini vurgulamakta; plan, politika ve eylemlerin bunlar üzerine temellenmesini önermektedir. Makale, zorunlu göç gibi çok boyutlu, çok ölçekli ve çok aktörlü karmaşık süreçlere dayanıklılık çerçevesinden yaklaşmanın; yerel dinamikleri ve ölçekler arası etkileşimleri hesaba katan, bütüncül bakış açısına sahip, uzun erimli ve kalıcı çözümler üretebilen, ve evrensel insani, ekolojik ve demokratik değerleri savunan kapsayıcı plan ve politikaların geliştirilmesini sağlayacağını önermektedir. Makale bu çerçevede Türkiye’nin Suriye zorunlu göçü deneyimini irdelemektedir. Bu değerlendirmenin, zorunlu göç süreçleri odağında, ancak bununla kısıtlı kalmayacak şekilde, Türkiye ve başka ülkelere politika ipuçları sağlaması beklenmektedir. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
