    (2023) Anar, Bensu; Yıldız, Ayselin
    Migration is a salient topic in the field of international studies and has garnered significant attention from researchers and local communities alike. Mixed migration, prompted by the Syrian Civil War, has heightened the visibility and criticality of the migration issue. Numerous countries have been impacted by the war, particularly those that share a border with Syria. As of 2023, Turkey hosts the highest number of Syrian refugees in the world, numbering approximately 3.5 million over 12 years. However, despite long years of hosting Syrians, Turkey has yet to devise a comprehensive and sustainable integration policy. This study investigates the current integration practices of the low-income Syrians living in the Izmir, Türkiye with a focus on their material, subjective, and relational well-being. The study relies on empirical fieldwork and a well-being survey conducted in June and July of 2022, with Syrians dwelling in diverse districts of Izmir. Ultimately, the study reveals that the well-being of Syrians residing in Izmir has worsened, particularly when compared to 2021. Furthermore, the integration of Syrians has not progressed comprehensively and sustainably.
