Summary/Abstract: The migration reflexes of the countries have started to differentiate with the multiple changes that the refugee mobility has undergone at the economic, social, political, cultural and demographic levels. Measures taken against this diversified and increasing migration contrary to multicultural policies and discourses create a paradoxical situation that emerge as a result of this differentiation. On the one hand there is the acceptance of multiculturalism and on the other hand there is a rejection of forced migration. Turkey has been following a human-centered policy rather than security oriented rational policies for the moment. However, the diversity and high number of immigrants that reached the highest levels ever in Turkey, carry the possibility of a conflict between human-centered policies and citizen-centered policies in the future. The aim of the study is to examine the social integration levels of Syrian urban refugees within the framework of social integration indicators. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were held with 30 Syrian refugees residing in Sancaktepe district of Istanbul.The data obtained as a result of the interviews were analyzed through descriptive analysis.
