Starting from the mid-1980s, flows of goods and capital between Russia and Turkey was followed by ever-increasing flows of people; thus, Turkey - particularly Antalya, a tourism city - became a destination for a great number of Russian tourists and migrants. This study examines the emerge of an Antalya-centred migration system based on tourism between Turkey and Russia, as well as focusing on the macro and micro structures having influence over this system.

This study bases on data derived from a survey carried out on 209 Russian participants, who were reached by means of the several snowball sampling methods, and on interviews with migrants. Main findings of the study indicate that: Tourism creates strong linkages in the migration system between the two countries; the migration system feeds itself through touristic travels, circular participation in the local workforce, partner relationships, marriage, and VFR; the region where the Russian community live spreads along the coast and finally the migration system is also developed with attracting other CIS citizens.

RUSYA İLE TÜRKİYE ARASINDA TURİZME DAYALI BİR GÖÇ SİSTEMİ OLUŞUMU

Öz

1980’lerin ortasından başlayarak, Rusya ve Türkiye arasındaki emtia ve sermaye akışını, giderek artan insan akışları izledi; böylece Türkiye, özellikle de bir turizm şehri olan Antalya, büyük bir miktardaki Rus turist ve göçmen için bir destinasyon haline geldi. Bu çalışma, Türkiye ve Rusya arasında turizme dayanan, Antalya merkezli bir göç sisteminin ortaya çıkışını incelemekte, aynı zamanda bu sistem üzerinde etkili olan mikro ve makro yapılara odaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, farklı kartopu örneklemler yoluyla ulaşılan 209 Rus katılımcılara uygulanan bir araştırmaya ve göçmenlerle yapılan mülakatlara dayanmaktadır. Çalışmanın bulguları, turizmin iki ülke arasındaki göç sistemlerinde güçlü bağlantılar yarattığına, göç sisteminin turistik seyahatler, yerel işgücüne döngüsel katılım, partner ilişkileri, evlilik ve arkadaş-akraba ziyaretleri yoluyla kendi kendini beslediğine, Rus toplululuğunun yaşadığı bölgenin kıyı boyunca yayıldığına ve son olarak göç sisteminin diğer BDT vatandaşlarını çekerek de geliştiğine işaret etmektedir.
