The study begins with a general analysis of
the ethnic composition of Hamilton's population
and the changes which this composition has
undergone since the beginning of the present
century. The major part of the study then
selects the most ethnically diverse sector of ยท
the city, namely the Barton Street region, and
subjects it to a detailed examination over a
forty year period, using cross-sections of the
years 1921, 1941 and 1961. For each year an
analysis is made of the residential distribution
of individual ethnic groups there, and the number
and kind of their associated services and institutions.
The area is then divided into regions
and sub-regions of ethnicity for each of these
years. Finally the changes occurring in the
areal extent and ethnic content of such regions
over the period of study are discussed and some
explanations offered for them. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
