Popis: This research aims to investigate Uzbek labour migrants’ experiences in Istanbul within the concept of acculturation. Following the migration, various acculturation models are constructed. As a consequence, strategies that migrants choose or forced to choose are subject to change according to time and category of place (workplace/outside workplace). Acculturation is highly affected by work and life places and can dominate one to another. In this research, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with Uzbek labour migrants (n = 12) at their workplaces in the Asian side of Istanbul. Their inside and outside group practices and changes considering time/place differences were investigated. Their developed strategies are discussed considering migration patterns and cultural features.
