| dc.description.abstract | Türkiye, with its geographically and geopolitically strategic location as a transit route between Asia, Europe and Africa continents and as a country neighboring to Middle Eastern countries in a state of constant turmoil, has recently become an important destination in terms of international migration. Globalization processes and economic developments especially in the 2000s have also contributed to the diversified migrant profiles of Türkiye. Practices of community interpreting, a means of facilitating communication between migrants and host communities in public and social services, have diversified in the same direction in Türkiye over the years. Community interpreting, which gained momentum in Türkiye with emergency and disaster interpreting following the earthquakes in the Marmara Region in 1999, has become a service area including multiple stakeholders in a wide variety of public, social and state institutions for migrants of different profiles, such as Syrian, Iraqi, Afghan, Ukrainian refugees; German, Russian, British tourists; or incoming foreign patients within the scope of health tourism. This study focuses on how migration movements in recent years and the needs of various migrant groups have shaped community interpreting practices in Türkiye. Treating community interpreting as a social practice with its diversifying target audiences, stakes, stakeholders and actors, the study discusses the development dynamics of community interpreting in Türkiye on the basis of its professional, institutional and academic status. © 2024 Peter Lang Group AG, Lausanne.
