The Data for Refugees (D4R) Challenge resulted in many insights related to the movement patterns of the Syrian refugees within Turkey. In this chapter, we summarize some of the important findings, and suggest policy recommendations for the main areas of the challenge. These recommendations are sometimes broad suggestions, as the policy interventions involve many factors that are difficult to take into account. We give examples of such issues to help policy-makers.

Suriyeli mülteciler krizi beş yılı aşkın bir süredir hem Türkiye ve diğer komşu ülkelerde hem Avrupa ülkelerinde etkisini artırarak sürdürürken, mülteciler sığındıkları ülkelerde topluma uyum sağlayamamakta ve sosyal dışlanmaya maruz kalmaktadır.
