Abstract :This research, which aims to examine perceptions of xenophobia among citizens of the Republic of Turkey in the context of increasing immigration over the past fifteen years, focuses on the young female population residing in Ankara. In this regard, face-to-face interviews were conducted with women aged 18-35 in Ankara using semi-structured questions and the collected data was analysed thematically by using the MAXQDA 24 software. Findings indicate that the young women residing in Ankara exhibit a significant degree of xenophobia attitudes. The underelying reasons for this xenophobia attitudes are expressed through rational justifications. It argues that cohabitation under current conditions depends on the effective integration of migrants within the framework of social cohesion. It is understood that xenophobia would significantly diminish if integration and cultural adaptation were successfully achieved. Therefore, the most striking aspect of the participants\\\' views is not the presence of foreigners, but rather the perceived inability of foreigners to integrate into Turkish society.Keywords : Yabancı Korkusu, Dış Göç, Göçmen Entegrasyonu, Suç Korkusu, Tematik Analiz
