Turkey, as a country of asylum, holds more than 3.5 million of Syrians under temporary protection as well as half a million of non-Syrians under international protection. This huge population brings a great deal of discussion including the implementation of refugee protection in Turkey as well as the definition of protection in the context of forced migration. Therefore, this study aims to understand the term protection proposed by the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees (UNHCR) in the context of forced migration and how it operates in Turkey via Civil Society Organizations. Research also intends to find the gap between ideal understanding of protection and its practical application to the refugees in Turkey through civil society institutions. To understand this gap, this thesis aims to find answers to questions as follows: (1) What is the definition of protection according to UNHCR and how it operates this definition in Turkey (2) How to understand the role of Protection Officers in this process? (3) What is the difference in between the ideal protection that is suggested by UNHCR and its implementation by civil society organizations and how this difference can be diminished? In responding to these questions this research includes a contextualization about the concept of protection and its interpretation by UNHCR. A case study including interviews with 22 protection staff who are implementing protection from the civil society organizations in Turkey, which are operational and implementing partners of UNHCR, will be held in order to understand the implementation of the protection.

Understanding state-civil society relations in education provision for non-camp syrian children in Turkey
McCarthy, Aslıhan; Şen, Mustafa; Department of Sociology (2016)
In the shadow of the Syrian conflict generating millions of displaced people, education provision for Syrian children has become a challenge for Turkey as the leading refugee hosting country. While great number of children who do not speak the national language is putting a strain on the limited capacity of state institutions, civil society organizations are trying to bridge the education gap for non-camp Syrian children. Given Turkey’s political interests and the evolving migration management context, this...

The Impact of GCR on Local Governments and Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Kale Lack, Başak (Wiley, 2019-12-01)
In the last couple of years, more than 3.6 million Syrian refugees have been hosted under the "temporary protection" scheme in Turkey. Despite these high numbers Turkey did not have a centralized refugee settlement and integration policy. As a result, various stakeholders including local governments have played critical roles in providing refugee assistance services. This research looks at the role of local governments in delivering services evolving from emergency response to local integration. This articl...
Effect of the Access to Healthcare Services Among Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Özen, İlhan Can; Tuncay Alpanda, Berna (2022-03-01)
The Syrian population influx has dislocated a significant number of people (6.7 million of people outside the Syrian borders, 6.5 million of people among the different provinces of Syria). The biggest group among this moving population between borders has integrated into the Turkish society, and economy. From the macro and micro perspectives, the health system integration is significantly graded by the Syrian population. We will focus on the early age group, among the refugees, as their health vulner...
Shelter from the storm: health service access and utilization among Syrian refugees in Turkey
Özen, İlhan Can; Tuncay Alpanda, Berna; Bump, Jesse (2022-03-01)
Aim Since 2011, the confict in Syria has led to the migration of 5.6 million refugees, mainly to neighbouring countries.

Most of them are today settled in urban and peri-urban locations. A large part of the health services of these populations had been cut before their move, leaving a signifcant population that had been unprotected and under-provided for. The T...
