Migrations and Urbanization Challenges in Turkey
Koca, G., & Karasozen, R.
Abstract:
In terms of modernity; migration is defined as changing people their living place willingly. Migrations from rural areas to cities caused social transition from the society of agriculture to the society of industry. The years between 1945 and 1980 are the most intensive period that migration took place in Turkey and increasingly continued until today. Housing stock and infrastructure of the cities receiving migration were inadequate for the requirements of the migrating people. The new residents solved their housing need by building unauthorized houses known as squatters which are distinct from the cities both physically and socio-culturally and their integration to the city life is very difficult. The former and new residents of the city have huge barriers between them such as exchange of services and information, way of life, thoughts, beliefs, judgments, traditions, dialects and in short, cultures.
