In the study, four main factors; satisfaction, adaptation, health and income were determined and the relationship between these factors and demographic variables was analyzed statistically. According to the results obtained from the study; Syrians, 46-60 year olds, married, graduate students and refugees who earn 4000 Liras or more are satisfied with the working and living conditions in Van. On the other hand, Syrian refugees were the most satisfied group in terms of adaptation and health conditions, while Iraqi immigrants were the most satisfied group in terms of income conditions
