Beginning in the 1950s, thousands of rural people have migrated each year to the larger cities in developing countries. With their arrival, they face major problems of social and cultural adjustment. This paper investigates the socioenvironmental determinants of social interaction in a squatter settlement in Istanbul. The results of the study indicate that the origin of migrant families is the most important variable in stimulating social interaction among families. People from the same culture support each other to deal with the difficulties they face in city life. Another result is that proximity to others is correlated with the frequency of social interaction between families, which agrees with previous findings. At the same time, the spatial set‐up of the neighborhood provides appropriate space to interact and fosters an opportunity for contact. On the other hand, education, age, and number of young children did not play a role in the social interaction in this particular neighborhood. Thus, cultural and spatial characteristics of the neighborhood were the most important variables for social interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
