    (ELSEVIER, 2024) Ayselin Yildiz; Aylin Gurel; Meltem O. Gurel; Yildiz, Ayselin; Gurel, Meltem O.; Gurel, Aylin
    This article explores the place-making practices of displaced Syrian refugees living in Basmane area of Izmir's historic Konak district. By examining everyday spaces the spatio-material and socio-relational outcomes of Syrians' placemaking practices the study positions refugees as active agents of placemaking. Through empirical fieldwork it underscores the spatio-material consequences and socio-relational wellbeing outcomes of Syrians' placemaking practices illustrating how these are shaped and constrained by multi-scale configurations of Turkiye's refugee policies and the perceptions of the local population towards migrants.
