Abstract:
The society is living in a time in which the objects are increasingly dense and acceleration took over the space. Consequently, studying the place it is necessary to understand the process of globalization, due to the drastic change in the way society relates to the geographic space, given that every place is unique and particular, nowhere is the same as another. This paper will address the rural settlement as a representation of the place and significance as the peasant resistance and its presence in the field, whose purpose is to explain how families settled (re)construct amid new spatial configurations, considering the place as meaning and (re)signification of the peasant. Considering the hypothesis that those families looking through the Settlement Project for Agrarian Reform, construction or (re)construction of the peasant way of life, the place opens the perspective for thinking about the living and the processes of appropriation of space. The work has performed in Santa Rita Settlement in Jataí, Goiás Regarding the methodology, the primary data, a qualitative, were collected from the families of the settlement, with semistructured interviews. The interviews and questionnaires were administered through field visits, in lots of households surveyed and the secondary data were obtained through literature searches and survey with INCRA, in order to deepen the discussion in question better. It was found that the share of capital changed labor relations and production of the peasants by inserting in their way of life characteristic features of capitalism. Families will work through the building, the dwelling place. We realize that staying in the settlement is tied to family origin, where the field is your place to live, there is a relationship of belonging
