Abstract
Bu tez, 1952-67 yılları arasında Sosyalist Yugoslavya‟nın muhtelif bölgelerindenİstanbul‟a göç etmiş bir grup Arnavut kökenli göçmenin göç deneyimlerini vevatandaşlık algılarını anlamaya yönelik niteliksel bir alan araştırmasıdır. Araştırmakapsamında, Yugoslavya‟da doğmuş, oradaki sosyo-ekonomik atmosferi net bir şekildehatırlayan ve şu anda İstanbul‟da ikamet eden on beş kişiyle yüz yüze derinlemesinegörüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmelerde, göçmenlerin göç öncesi yaşamları, göçsüreçleri, göç sonrası yaşamları ve mevcut durumlarına dair sistematik bilgiler eldeedilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda niteliksel yöntemle oluşturulmuş veriler, tematikanaliz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiş ve bu sayede görüşmeci grubun göç deneyimlerininvatandaşlık algıları üzerinde etkili olup olmadığı tartışılmıştır. Yugoslavya‟dan sosyal,ekonomik, politik ve bireysel nedenlerle göç etme kararı alan görüşmecilerin göçdeneyimlerinin hem benzer hem farklı boyutları gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca, göç sonrasıkatılımcı grubun Türkiye‟de vatandaşlık alma süreçlerinin bu algının inşasında etkiliolduğu görülmüştür. Katılımcıların vatandaşlık algılarının haklar değil, görevler temelliolduğu görülmektedir. Bu araştırmada katılımcıların paylaşımlarından hareketle “Nasılbir vatandaş?” sorusunun yanıtı “kentli vatandaş”, “aranan vatandaş”, “mutlakvatandaş” ve “makul vatandaş” şeklinde elde edilmiştir.
