THE SOCIAL IMPACTS OF MIGRATION IN TURKEY

Migration is a very important phenomenon in urbanization process and mostly has negative effects and this movement brings a lot of new kinds of problems to urban life.The movement related to rapid increase in population is one of the general characteristics of developing countries.Since Turkey is a developing country,too she becomes face to face with many problems.Because of migration towards cities, different settlements occured and are still occuring in the centres and surrondings of cities. As a result these movements spoil the general structure of urban with new social problems carried by them.

Migration:

• turns cities to villages in physical and social aspects
• increases the crime rate and criminal attempts in cities
• increases the problems in municipal services
• causes a decrease in health services ,which is already inadequate.
• causes loss of productive power and capital in rural areas
• adds more problems to existing ones
• causes problems generating from different life styles
• creates demand for a better life such as housing,jobs,schools…etc.And this demand puts urban life out of order and disintegrates the urban system.
• Cities started to be something like a big station. People are coming and going. No one knows each other, no friendship, no relationship.
• Difference between the urban and the rural is about to disappear.
• That the old population resist the idea of migration and that they don’t want to leave their homeland result in the families shattering or the old people becoming introverted and isolated from social life.
