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 vulnerabilities, and health improvements will create much larger effects throughout their lifetime. What we aim in this paper is to bring forward an objective micro-level outcome that will allow us to measure two things that was crucial in the life cycle of the refugee population: the war effect which will create a push factor for them to start moving, and an integration effect which will measure the time-continuous, and time-discrete increase in their health outcomes, as a result of relatively cost-free integration into a more developed health system. The Demographic Health Survey (DHS) 2018 data that we utilize gives us an empirical advantage for identification for two reasons; it differentiates the health outcome of children, in multi-child families depending on where they were born, which we will call an intra-Syrian effect, and it allows us to compare the situation of the Syrian children vis-a-vis the average child health outcomes in the society they are integrating into (what we call the inter-Syrian effect). The results suggest that Syrians remain underneath the Turkish average, for many early child development, and vital health access, however, after integration significant positive developments occur, in terms of compensating for the negative war effect, and in terms of the second effect (integration/adaptation effect) that they have started to converge to the Turkish average, as they have spent more years in Turkey.

IMPLEMENTATION OF REFUGEE PROTECTION IN TURKEY: A CASE OF PROTECTION OFFICERS WORKING IN CSOS IN ANKARA
Çetinalp, Berna; Zırh, Besim Can; Department of Social Policy (2021-9-18)
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 ...
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. By the start of 2019, over 3.5 million people had moved to Turkey to seek safety, meaning that Turkey is hosting the majority of these refugees. 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...
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...
THE IMPACT OF THE EU ON ASYLUM POLICIES OF TURKEY AND JORDAN IN THE LIGHT OF THE ‘SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS’
Yasin, Şadan; Göçer Akder, Derya; Department of Middle East Studies (2021-7-14)
The Syrian Refugee Crisis became to be known as such after the irregular mass refugee/migrant flow of mostly Syrians to Europe in 2015. However, the greatest challenge of receiving the Syrians fleeing the outbreak of the Syrian conflict in 2011 belonged to the neighbouring countries to Syria. The asylum foundations and policies and their compatibility with international standards in these countries have come under scrutiny following this. The ‘crisis’ brought to the light the discrepancies and deficiencies ...
Predicting the Resilience of the Health Care System to New Arrivals: The Case of the Public Health System of Turkey
Özen, İlhan Can (2021-4-01)
Purpose/Objectives: Since the start of the Syrian war, a significant population has moved out of the Syrian Republic into its neighborhood environs. Turkey has had a significant effect on its health system and society, as a significant new number has entered the Turkish society, increasingly using the Turkish healthcare system. Our aim is not only to numerically identify the size of the effect to the Turkish system, but to identify the domestic resources that allow the Turkish healthcare system and socie...
