| Summary: | TRANSFORMATION IN THE BRAZILIAN RURAL SPACE. The Brazilian rural space has undergone, and continues to undergo, many significant changes. As a consequence of this, its functioning is becoming increasingly complex, and understanding it presents a great challenge. The aim of this article is to analyze the transformations currently under way in the Brazilian rural space, based on a literature survey of previous research on rural issues. This survey makes it possible to identify a distinctive shift in the use of rural space, characterized by the appearance and emergence of new attitudes, which has led to a new way of regarding the “rural” and to a redefinition of its attributes. It is therefore essential for development strategies to take into account the very significant diversity that characterizes the Brazilian rural space and to acknowledge the potential of each place, so that the current situation of abandonment facing many Brazilian rural areas may be overcome.
