SYRIA CRISIS AND RESILIENCE RESPONSE OF UNDP IN TURKEY : STRENGTHENING MUNICIPAL SERVICES In order to support Syrians, host communities and municipalities to better cope with and recover from the impact of displacement, UNDP promotes a resilience based development approach, complementing the humanitarian response by developing the “Syria Crisis Response and Resilience Programme”. The large number of Syrians staying in the Southeast Anatolia region of Turkey, is increasingly straining the capacities of local municipalities to provide the required basic services for the Syrians in addition to the needs of the host communities. Thus, strengthened municipal services and infrastructure are among the most pressing needs of the provinces that host high number of Syrians under Temporary Protection in Turkey. The provinces of Kilis, Hatay, Gaziantep and Şanlıurfa host more than 1.1 million Syrians. The ratio of Syrian population to that of host communities in each province is higher than 15%. As a result, the additional volume of waste generated due to unprecedented level of population increase with Syrian population inux amounts to more than 550,000 tons per year in Southeast Anatolia region. To help mitigate such excessive pressure on municipal UNDP commissioned a municipal infrastructure needs assessment and prioritization study for services particularly on solid waste management Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis and Şanlıurfa. The study provides the municipalities in these capacity in the region, UNDP Turkey has been provinces with better understanding of their needs and with tools to make more collaborating since 2015 with Disaster and Emergency strategic infrastructure decisions.

  • United Nations Interagency Health-Needs-Assessment Mission
    United Nations interagency health-needs-assessment mission Southern Turkey, 4−5 December 2012 IOM • OIM Joint Mission of WHO, UNFPA, UNHCR, UNICEF and IOM 1 United Nations interagency health-needs-assessment mission Southern Turkey, 4−5 December 2012 Joint Mission of WHO, UNFPA, UNHCR, UNICEF and IOM Abstract On 4–5 December 2012, a United Nations interagency health-needs-assessment mission was conducted in four of the 14 Syrian refugee camps in southern Turkey: two in the Gaziantep province (İslahiye and Nizip camps), and one each in the provinces of Kahramanmaraş (Central camp) and Osmaniye (Cevdetiye camp). The mission, which was organized jointly with the World Health Organization (WHO), the Ministry of Health of Turkey and the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of the Prime Ministry of Turkey (AFAD), the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for refugees (UNHCR) and comprised representatives of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). It was coordinated by WHO. The primary goals of the mission were: to gain a better understanding of the capacities existing in the camps, including the health services provided, and the functioning of the referral system; and, on the basis of the findings, identify how the United Nations agencies could contribute to supporting activities related to safeguarding the health of the more than 138 000 Syrian citizens living in Turkey at the time of the mission. The mission team found that the high-level Turkish health-care services were accessible to and free of charge for all Syrian refugees, independent of whether they were living in or outside the camps.

  • Türkiye'de Turizm Ulaştirmasi 21
    TÜRKİYE’DE TURİZM ULAŞTIRMASI (Tourism Transportation in Turkey) Dr. SUNA DOĞANER* ÖZET: Ulaşım seyehati mümkün kılar ve bu sebepten turizmin önemli bir parça­ sıdır. Ulaşım herşeyden önce turizmin gelişiminin sebebi ve sonucudur: Ula­ şım sistemlerinin gelişimi turizmi canlandırır, turizmin yayılması da ulaşımı geliştirir. Karayolu ulaşımı, Türkiye’de pekçok sayfiyenin, tarihi ve kültürel merkezin doğması ve gelişmesinde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Türkiye’de pek çok şehire hava ulaşımının sağlanması uzak yerlere ulaşımı kolaylaştırmıştır. Organize turların gelişmesi aynı zamanda hava ulaşımını canlandırmıştır. De­ nizde seyehat oldukça zevklidir ve gemi seyehatlerine olan ilgi artmaktadır. Uluslararası hatlarda feribot seferleri Adriyatik (İzmir-Venedik ve Antalya- Venedik arasında) ve Kıbrıs hatlarında yapılmaktadır ayrıca iç hatlarda feri­ bot seferleri vardır. Buharlı Tren Turları Türkiye’de demiryolu ile seyehatin gelişmesinde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Sonuç olarak Türkiye’de ulaşım iç ve dış turizmde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. ABSTRACT: Transport, which makes travel possible, is therefore an integral part of to­ urism. Transport has been at once a cause an effect of the growth of tourism: improved transport facilities have stimulated tourism, the expansion of tou- ırsm has stimulated transport. Road transport has been a very important fac­ tor affecting the rise and growth of many seaside resorts, historic and cultural centers in Turkey. The inception of air transport to many cities made easy long­ distance transport posible in Turkey. The development of package tours has also stimulated air transport. Sea travel is in itself a pleasure and cruising ho­ lidays have grown in importance. Ferry -boat cruises on international lines are Adriatic (between İzmir-Venice and Antalya-venice) and Cyprus services.

In all, 789 plant specimens that consisted of 104 taxa belonging to 13 families and 30 genera were gathered from the investigation area. Of all the collected specimens, 19 taxa were new records for C6, C7, and C8, and 11 taxa were endemic to Turkey. Scilla mesopotamica Speta, which was first collected from Şanlıurfa-Halfeti in 1888 by Sintenis and was considered a missing species, was rediscovered after 116 years during this study. Colchicum crocifolium Boiss. was also determined as a new record for Turkey. According to floristic regions, Irano-Turanian elements ranked first among the specimens, accounting for 47.12%, followed by Mediterranean elements (25.00%) and Euro-Siberian elements (0.96%). Some of the identified species (26.92%) were widespread and of unknown phytogeographic origin. In addition, 86.54% of the collected taxa were determined to be monocotyledons and the remaining (13.46%) were dicotyledons. The families with the most taxa in the research area were Liliaceae (59) and Iridaceae (14).

  • Syrian Refugee Health Profile
    SYRIAN REFUGEE HEALTH PROFILE U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Division of Global Migration and Quarantine December 22, 2016 Syrian Refugees • Priority Health Conditions • Background • Population Movements and Refugee Services in Countries of Asylum • Healthcare and Conditions in Camps or Urban Settings • Medical Screening of U.S.-Bound Refugees • Post-Arrival Medical Screening • Health Information Priority Health Conditions The following health conditions are considered priority conditions that constitute a distinct health burden for the Syrian refugee population: • Anemia • Diabetes • Hypertension • Mental Illness Background The Syrian conflict, which began in 2011, has resulted in the largest refugee crisis since World War II, with millions of Syrian refugees fleeing to neighboring countries including Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey [1]. Syrian refugees have also fled to Europe, with many crossing the Mediterranean Sea in order to reach European Union-member nations, mainly Greece, then traveling north to countries such as Germany and Sweden. Syria’s pre-war population of 22 million people has been reduced to approximately 17 million, with an estimated 5 million having fled the country [2, 3], and more than 6.5 million displaced within Syria [4]. As fighting has continued across the country, an increasing number of health facilities have been heavily damaged or destroyed by attacks, leaving thousands of Syrians without access to urgent and essential healthcare services [5]. Geography The Syrian Arab Republic (Syria) is located in the Middle East, bordering Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, and Israel; it is also bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the west (Figure 1).
