Après avoir recueilli dans la littérature de l'écologie sociale un ensemble de propositions obtenues par Panalyse factorielle, on procéda à les verifier en utilisant une stratégie polyvalente de recherche sur des données longitudinales provenant de Winnipeg. II semble que la structure écologique de cette ville peut être décrite en utilisant trois variables générales et cela correspond aux attentes. Ces variables sont: le statut économique, le statut familial, et le statut d'immigration; ajoutons, toutefois que certaines de ces variables acquièrent une importance qui se distingue de celle que l'on retrouve dans les études américaines sur le même sujet. Contrairement aux previsions, toutefois, l'importance relative du statut économique diminue avec le temps bien que son importance absolue ait gardé une valeur constante. L'importance relative et absolue du statut familial s'est accrue tandis que celle du statut d'immigrant s'est abaissée. Au surplus, les données suggèrent qu'avec le temps la différenciation écologique s'atténue plutôt que de s'accroître. A certains égards ces résultats contredisent les prévisions générées par les études antérieures et les théories de l'écologie urbaine et soulèvent plusieurs problèmes d'interprétation. A set of propositions is gleaned from the literature in the social area analysis‐factorial ecology tradition, and tested using a new multi‐method research strategy applied to longitudinal data gathered for Winnipeg. Generally consistent with what was expected, it would appear as if the ecological structure of this city can be described in terms of three general constructs: economic status, family status, and immigrant status, although certain of these constructs differed in important ways from their counterparts in studies of us cities. Contrary to what was expected, however, the relative importance of economic status seems to have declined over time, although its absolute importance has remained quite constant. The relative (and absolute) importance of family status has increased , while the converse has happened with regard to immigrant status. In addition, the evidence suggests that the over‐all level of ecological differentiation may be decreasing over time, rather than increasing. These results run counter in several respects to predictions generated from current research and theory in urban ecology, and pose a number of interesting and difficult problems of interpretation
