Abstract

Arapskim proljećem 2011. godine započeo je i sirijski građanski rat. Tijekom sedam godina krvavog rata koji još traje, iz Sirije je izbjeglo više od pet milijuna ljudi, od toga oko jedan milijun u susjedni Libanon koji je zbog svoje geografske blizine i povijesnih okolnosti bio prvi na udaru izbjegličkog vala iz Sirije. Na površini veličine Slavonije danas je skoro svaki peti stanovnik izbjeglica. Tako veliki pritisak izbjegličkog stanovništva uvelike utječe na socioekonomsku, religijsku i demografsku strukturu države. Nadalje, u radu će se raspravljati kako je historijskogeografski razvoj ovog područja utjecao na odnose između lokalnog stanovništva, pogotovo povijest Libanona i njegove okolice druge polovice dvadesetog stoljeća. Problematika poput pravnog statusa izbjeglica, njihovog prostornog razmještaja, strukture, problema nezaposlenosti, asimilacije stanovništva i ostalih socioekonomskih i demografskih problema obrađuje se u ovome radu. Na kraju se postavlja pitanje može li kraj rata u Siriji doprinijeti stabilizaciji Libanona te povratku pozitivnog gospodarskog rasta koji je bio prekinut, a samim time i napretka libanonskog društva

Abstract (english)

The Arab Spring that spread across the Middle East in 2011 marked the beginning of the Syrian Civil War. During the seven years of the bloody war that is still far from being over, more than five million people emigrated from Syria. Out of five million Syrians, one million emigrated to Lebanon, the country that was, due to its geographic proximity and historical circumstances the first one to be affected by the refugee flow coming from Syria. In the area that is the size of Slavonia every fifth inhabitant is a refugee. Such a strong impact of refugee population has a major effect on the socioeconomic, religious and demographic structure of Lebanon. The present paper focuses on the issues regarding legal status of refugees, their spatial organization, structure, unemployment, assimilation, as well as other socioeconomic and demographic concerns. Moreover, it is discussed how the historio-geographic development of the area, and especially the history of Lebanon and its surroundings in the second half of the 20th century, affected the relationships among the local population. In the end, the question is posed whether the end of war in Syria can contribute to the stabilization of Lebanon and affect the positive economic growth, or, in other words, whether it can lead to the social progress of Lebanon.
