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.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPlacemaking, Displacement, Wellbeing, Syrians, Turkiye, RefugeesREFUGEES, SPACEPlacemakingTurkiyeDisplacementRefugeesWellbeingSyriansArticle
