Özet

Today, the Earth is frequently facing with many natural, environmental and humanitarian problems on a global scale. These problems affect daily life in social, cultural, political, economic and many other areas, and their consequences are reflected in physical space. Scarce resources and environmental disasters lead to the creation of urban geographies where living conditions are adversely affected and even the possibilities for sustaining life are lost, leading to significant population movements and displacements. In the realization of today's mass migration movements, many internal or external, immediate or prospective factors such as the desire to escape from the current challenging conditions, the desire to improve the quality of life and/or the tendency not to be harmed by possible natural and artificial threats can be the triggering factor. Although these mass displacements are called "temporary", they have become one of today's socio-spatial problematics, whose minimum living conditions take many years to achieve and whose requirements cannot be fully met by purely physical interventions. This complex structure, which emerges in the context of both the moving person/community and the place of movement, has created a conceptual confusion for the spatial literature.

The study aims to compile the relational concepts used interchangeably in the literature on the two main components of the migration phenomenon, "user" and "space", and to subject these concepts to a conceptual analysis/disaggregation process through content analysis. On the other hand, the secondary objective of the study is to identify the situational differences between users for future studies and to draw attention to the description of the ideal space that meets the needs. In essence, it is thought that this work of analysis in theory can find a response in practice.
