dc.description.abstract	Resettlement ofers a “safe solution” for people who have experienced displacement. Nevertheless, refugees face additional challenges once resettled, including the erosion of their social fabric and the disruption of refugee communities. Therefore, social connections are crucial in resettlement. So far, the literature on social connections has focused on their functions (e.g., social support) and neglected this concept to the detriment of its meaning and related factors, so an in-depth exploration of social connections is necessary, especially in the problematic context of resettlement. To this end, 41 articles published between 2011 and 2022 and conducted with refugees and asylum seekers in resettlement contexts, were identifed through searches in MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO. The aim of this scoping review is to identify potentially broad literature on social connections in resettlement to provide an understanding of how refugees engage in social connections during this process. Four main social connections in the resettlement context emerged: (a) connections within the immediate community, (b) transnational connections, (c) connections with the mainstream community, and (d) connections with services. The results confrm the need to better explore how social connections impact refugees’ experiences in resettlement and to grasp their political meaning in resettlement contexts.	pt_PT
