Since the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in 1948, thousands of Palestinians have been forced to leave their home and be displaced to poor urban settlements. The High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) recognized that safety issues in camp areas might affect refugees' experience in open spaces. Baqa'a refugee camp in Jordan is one of the largest Palestinian refugee camps in the middle east, with a high proportion of refugees, so it provides research context for open spaces in permanent refugee camps. This study will study the case of the Baqa'a Palestinian refugee camp to understand the physical environmental design of open spaces affects the users' sense of safety and experience in open spaces in the context of refugee camps. Qualitative research approaches were used to examine the research questions and acquire the study's aims. The methodological approach is designed to understand how physical and non-physical factors of open spaces in refugee camps influence the level of sense of safety of refugees. This study will draw urban designers' and planners' attention to understanding the impact of the physical environmental design of open spaces on users' sense of safety in poor communities like refugee camps.

The performance of palestinian foreign trade : from prolonged imposed integration to the Israeli economy to a window towards the rest of the world (1968-1998)
Abugamea, Gaber Hussain; Ege, Aylin; Akbostancı, Elif; Department of Economics (2003)
Over the past three decades the Palestinian territories (PTs) trade experienced numerous shocks and instabilities following the occupation of the area by Israel in 1967 war. As a result of this situation, a forced customs union affected the area trade till 1993. Afterwards, the transitional Oslo peace agreement between the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel resulted in a slight window, which permits PTs to import, to some extent, from the rest of the world. In view of these considerations,...

This thesis first explains the today of the refugee crisis and then how it will evolve with the climate change, in other words, the dimensions of the global refugee crisis that we will need to work on in the future. By setting the boundaries of a refuge...
THE DISCOURSES OF POLITICAL LEADERS TOWARDS SYRIAN REFUGEES IN LEBANON AND IMPLICATIONS FOR DOMESTIC POLITICS
Dal, Derya; Benli Altunışık, Meliha; Department of Middle East Studies (2022-2-10)

Lebanon, a neighboring state to Syria, with a small territory and complex political system, has hosted the highest number of Syrian refugees per capita. Maintaining a fragile economic, social and political structure, Lebanon is greatly impacted by the arrival of a substantial number of refugees. Consequently, the refu...
THE PALESTINIAN QUESTION IN TURKISH FOREIGN-POLICY FROM THE 1950S TO THE 1990S
AYKAN, MB (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 1993-02-01)
Since the 1950s Turkish foreign policy toward the Middle East has centered on the question of support for the Arab position on the Palestinian question. Ever since the U.N. General Assembly resolution of November 1947 that partitioned Palestine between the Palestinians and Israelis, all the Arab countries—even though diversity of regime has prevented them from otherwise acting as a unit in Middle Eastern politics—have consistently supported the establishment of an independent Palestinian state (in oppositio...
