The research aimed at analyzing the city-countryside relationship and had as an objective of study the city of Campina Grande-PB. With the technological modernization and the expansion of urban spaces, the city-countryside theme is standing out at present in the geographic science, from the productions which aim at showing the new relationships and the new objects which are being introduced into the countryside. However, contrary to this perspective, the objective consisted in understanding the existence and the (re)production of the rural subspaces in the interior of the urban net of the city analyzed. Thus, the city was investigated regarding it as a space produced by means of differentiated logics, in which stand out not only the spaces conceived by the dominant classes and the governments, but also the inhabited and appropriated spaces, built by the population daily. Among such spaces, rural subspaces kept and recreated in the city were examined. However, due to the great number of mixed-farming establishments spread out in the city, an area was chosen situated under a high tension net as a central objective for the investigation. Throughout the research we sought to talk with the authors who might give an aid to the discussion of the city-countryside relationship, both in past periods and in the present context; field work was carried out with the aim of observing, registering and investigating the areas with mixed-farming establishments in the city and the data and information about mixed-farming activities in the governmental institutions were consulted, such as the State Office of Development of Mixed-farming and Fishing - SEDAP. After the survey in field and the analysis in the office, we sought to answer the questions made in the beginning of the research. Accordingly, it is a study of qualitative nature, in which the observations, the interviews, the descriptions and the theoretical foundation were fundamental for the accomplishment of the task. At the end of the investigation, it was verified that, even with the intensification of the process of urbanization in Campina Grande, as well as in other Brazilian cities, the customs and the rural activities remain constantly being adapted to the city reality, due to the people s wish to reproduce a way of life similar to that experienced in the countryside. These people cattle breeders and farmers take possession of the uninhabited areas every day (like the ones under the high tension net) and create rural spaces, that is, inhabited spaces which are opposed to the dominant logic of production of the urban space.
