Abstract

The City of Erzurum has a long history as a refugee city. It is a transition and destination city because of both geographical, and political, economic and cultural characteristics. However, it is obvious that the continuous increase in the number of refugees recently poses serious challenges to both citizens and urban administrators with the arrival of Syrians, as well as Afghans and Iranians. Also, the fact of the matter is that, it is getting more impossible for refugees to return to their homes in the near future. This is largely becoming evident. Under these circumstances urban administrators and stakeholders take urgent measures to have refugees stay in the city as well as their adaptation to the society within their resources. This study aims to analyze both their current situation, and to take measures addressing the problems caused by refugees in the city from the perspective of public administration.
