Hypothesis 1
“The objective of Integration Center is; coordinate to
institutions which are supporting to migrants. “
* Integration Center(IC) will connect to public directly
(first line),
* Cooperation with associations and mutual-aid
associations (second line)
* So IC will solve problems.
> IC should coordinate between institutions and
enterprises, make researches and determine the state.
> Should organise vocational training course
So…
We should identify institutions on immigration.

The difference of domestic/external immigration: External
immigration is more experienced, equipped, has more sources, has
more activities (supporting to scientific research, participation to
culteral projects, art courses, conferances, e-letters, web sites..)
The differance of old/new immigration: New migrant’s life is more
difficult because there is financial and spiritual difficulties because
of war, also adaptation to Istanbul and relations with their own
homeland is difficult.
