The Syrian presence in Turkey is largely urban in nature with refugees settling in regional cities along the Syria-Turkey border and in the metropolises of western Turkey. Based on a survey with 300 Syrian refugees in Istanbul and Gaziantep, this CMI Insight discusses the factors influencing refugees’ residence preferences, their living conditions, and highlights access to institutional forms of support.
