Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the refugee camps issue as emergent presence to the social structure of the
Palestinian society. The study approached the literature as a multi-dimensional phenomenon, which addressed
both theoretical and applied research. The findings revealed that the Palestinian camps do not accurately reflect
the structure of the Palestinian society, as they are emergent presence to the social structure of the Palestinian
society. These camps depict the exposure of the Palestinian diaspora concentrations during the Nakba of 1948
and after the 1967 war. It reflects the social, economic, and cultural conditions of the period resulting from the
uprooting of more than one million Palestinians from their cities, villages, and Bedouin sites of origin.
