Spaces of rural lodging in Brazil as sign of socialization for social sustainability

Studies on sustainability have not been based on the social dimension, which has dealt essentially with urban contexts, despite the rural territory; and research on rural lodging has rarely focused on the spatial attributes as sign of socialization for social sustainability. Therefore, the objective of this research was to demonstrate socialization in spaces of rural lodging in Brazil, which can mean social sustainability for the Brazilian rural territory. The research was characterized as qualitative and descriptive; bibliography and sources of primary and secondary data were used, as well as spatial reading in loco and photographs of the spaces of the research object as support for the spatial reading. The data collected were described in light of the theoretical methods of Pierce’s Semiotics in the approach to abduction, followed by Walter Benjamin's Montage Theory. The results showed a manifestation of socialization in rural areas as a predictive for social sustainability in the Brazilian rural area.
