As the civil war in Syria forced a large part of the population to leave the country, Turkey became one of the countries which were affected most by this migration flow. It is known that the refugees are confronted in Turkey with threats posed by poverty, spatial segregation and social exclusion. However, transportation/accessibility which is a crucial element for promoting economic and socio-cultural integration by eliminating these threats is often neglected. In this respect, the study aims to explore the transportation experiences of Syrian refugees who are characterized as a disadvantaged group. For this purpose, by surveying and performing in-depth interviews through a mixed methodological approach, an evaluation was made on Altındağ district of Ankara province of Turkey around which Syrian refugees were clustered. The obtained findings reveal that refugees had a serious problem of transportation and accessibility, failed to participate in urban activities at the desired level, and the poverty and exclusion from activities along with the lack of transportation affected mostly female participants very badly. The spatial segregation reinforces the sense of belonging among refugees, nevertheless, their isolation restricts their relations with the local society, and their withdrawal from the society further deepens their exclusion from the transportation service.

在贫困,社会排斥和空间隔离的压制下叙利亚难民的运输经历

由于叙利亚内战迫使很大一部分人口离开该国,土耳其成为受这种移民潮影响最大的国家之一。众所周知,难民在土耳其面临贫穷,空间隔离和社会排斥所构成的威胁。但是,人们常常忽略了运输/交通便利性,这是通过消除这些威胁来促进经济和社会文化融合的关键要素。在这方面,该研究旨在探讨被视为弱势群体的叙利亚难民的运输经验。为此,通过采用混合方法进行调查和进行深入采访,对土耳其安卡拉省Altındağ区进行了评估,叙利亚难民聚集在该区。获得的调查结果表明,难民在交通和可及性方面存在严重问题,未能以理想的水平参加城市活动,贫困和被排斥在活动之外以及缺乏交通对大多数女性参与者造成了严重影响。空间上的隔离增强了难民之间的归属感,但是,他们的孤立限制了他们与当地社会的关系,他们从社会中的撤离进一步加深了他们被排斥在运输服务之外的机会。
