University student austrian-turks and their perceptions of homeland vs. Hostland: is roots migration possible?

Bu çalışmada, Avusturyada yaşayan Türkiye kökenli göçmenler ile göçmenlerin profilleri, memleket ve gurbet algıları incelenmiştir. İncelediğim profillerin, memleket ve gurbet algıları sayesinde, göçmenlerin Türkiye dönebilme olasılıklarını hakkında detaylı veri elde ettim. Hedef kitlem ise Avusturyada yaşayan ikinci/üçüncü kuşağa dâhil olan üniversite öğrencisi Türkiyeli göçmenler ve onların Türkiyeye geri dönme ihtimalleridir. Hedef kitlemi, Viyana/ Avusturyada öğrenim gören ikinci/üçüncü kuşak Türkiyeli göçmenlerle sınırladım ve görünürlüğü Türkiyede giderek artan roots-migration (kök-göç) çerçevesinde inceledim.

In this study, I focused on Turkish-Austrians and their profiles, homeland and hostland perceptions. Their profiles and perceptions can help me to understand their return possibility to Turkey. My target group is second/third generation of university student Turkish immigrants who have potential to return back to Turkey. I examine this focus group as a significant part in the roots migration process because the rates of roots migration which is from receiving countries to Turkey increases. I focus on the purpose to return among second/third generation Turkish immigrants who study for a degree in Vienna/Austria.
