Belçika'daki Türk göçmenler, Belçika ve Avrupa'nın en büyük göçmen nüfuslarından biridir. Belçika'daki Türk toplumu için anavatanla olan sosyal ve duygusal bağların korunması hâlâ büyük önem taşımaktadır ve Belçika'daki yaşamları Türkiye'den tamamen kopmuş değildir. Aksine, Belçika'daki Türk nüfusunun büyük bir kısmı, özellikle de yaşlı Türk göçmenler, yılın neredeyse yarısını Türkiye'de, geri kalan kısmını da göç edilen ülkede geçirdikleri döngüsel bir göç dinamiğine sahiptir. Bu döngüsel göç dinamiğinin, günümüzde çoğunlukla yaşlanma sürecinde olan Belçika’daki birinci ve ikinci kuşak Türk göçmenler için bazı sosyal ve ekonomik faydaları bulunmaktadır. Bu faydaların yanı sıra, Belçika ve Türkiye arasında döngüsel göçmen olmayı deneyimlemek bazı zorluklara da yol açabilmektedir. Bu çalışma, Türk kökenli yaşlı göçmenlerin döngüsel bir göçmen olmaya ilişkin deneyimlerini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmaya, çalışmanın amacına uygun olarak Belçika ile Türkiye arasında döngüsel göç dinamiği yaşayan 14 yaşlı Türk göçmen katılmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel görüşmeleri, 1960'lı yıllarda Belçika'ya göç eden Türk nüfusun yoğun olarak yaşadığı Afyon ilinin Emirdağ ilçesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları, karşılaşılan bazı zorluklara rağmen, döngüsel göçün Emirdağ'daki yaşlı Türk göçmenler için yaşlanma sürecinde her iki ülkenin kaynaklarından yararlanma açısından etkili bir strateji olarak ortaya çıktığını göstermektedir.

The Turkish migrants in Belgium is one of the largest migrant population in Belgium and Europe. For the Turkish community in Belgium, maintaining social and emotional ties with the homeland is still of great importance, and their life in Belgium is not completely disconnected from Turkey. On the contrary, most of the Turkish population in Belgium, especially elderly Turkish migrants, have a circular migration dynamic in which they spend almost half of the year in Turkey and the rest of the time in the country of immigration. This circular migration dynamic has some social and economic benefits for the first and second generation Turkish migrants in Belgium, who are mostly in their aging process nowadays. Besides these benefits, experiencing to be an elderly circular migrant between Belgium and Turkey may also cause some challenges. This study aims to explore the experiences of elderly Turkish migrants regarding being circular migrants. Consistent with the purpose of the study, 14 elderly Turkish migrants, who have a circular migration dynamic between Belgium and Turkey, participated in the study. The qualitative interviews of the study were carried out in the Emirdağ district of the Afyon province of Turkey, where the Turkish population migrated to Belgium in the 1960s reside heavily. The findings of the study show that, despite some challenges encountered, circular migration occurs as an effective strategy for the elderly Turkish migrants in Emirdağ in terms of benefiting the resources of both countries in the aging process.
