Abstract

Refugees are an important issue in terms of the socioeconomic aspects of sustainable urban logistics. Uncertainties in their population sizes, places of residence and work make transportation decisions difficult. This chapter aims to examine access to public transportation and predict potential human movement in the refugee-dense districts of İzmir, which is the 8th city with the highest Syrian population in Türkiye. In this chapter, Syrians are considered refugees due to mass-forced displacement and social conditions. Using space syntax methods, segregated or integrated areas were identified, and the accessibility was measured by network analysis. Spatial configurations were evaluated based on population size and land use. Considering the size of the refugee population, the social logic of space is understood more realistically. Comprehensive strategies are needed for reducing spatial segregation and social exclusion of refugees, including land use planning, public spaces, and transportation services. Additionally, it is important to consider urban logistics ethics in this process.
