Abstract

This article has the purpose to analyze the rural-urban relationship in the West Coast region of Paraná, considering the influence that the field has on the city and the city on the field. Thus, initially the relationship of rural people to the city is discussed, showing what the technologies and services used by urban farmers are. Then the perception, by the urban population, on the importance of agriculture to the region and the impact of the consumption of the rural population in the regional economy is analyzed. Also, the urban activities present in the city were investigated, highlighting the Rural Producer Fair. For these analyzes, field work and interviews with farmers, traders and consumers of the Rural Producer Fairs were carried out. It was noted, in conclusion, that country and city are inextricably linked in the West Coast region of Paraná, especially in the small municipalities analyzed.
