Due to ongoing conflicts, the inmigration of refugees from Syria continues and the question of integration remains. While most research about refugees is done quantitatively, this study specifically explores the homemaking processes of Syrian refugees in the Netherlands in a qualitative manner by means of in-depth interviews and mental mapping exercises. The goal was to collect micro-level information and characterize the process of making a new home in the Netherlands after being forced to flee from Syria.} }
