Leisure as permanence and social reproduction factor in rural areas: study of the municipality of Saudade do Iguaçu, PR

Abstract: Leisure and recreational activities in rural areas are considered secondary actions, since the rural is perceived as synonymous with agricultural production area. In this context, the lack of structures that favor leisure and even social, economic, political and cultural influence, favor a new emptying of the rural. The objective of this article is to reflect on leisure in the rural area and its respective influence on the quality of life and social reproduction of the rural families, focusing on the city of Saudade do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil.
