The rural environment in Brazil, particularly in the Northeast region, has presented in the last years changes that are related to the provision of services, housing, leisure and tourism. It can be seen that the more cities present problems of various kinds, such as violence, heavy traffic, poor quality of life, the rural environment is projected as a tranquil place: the escape from urban chaos. The inhabitants of the cities come to perceive the rural environment as a place of leisure, rest and encounter with nature. It is in this context that activities of second home, tourism and leisure begin to appropriate the rural environment as a product, creating new spaces, structures, mobility to attract this demand. New patterns of displacement for the rural determine new conceptions for the function of the second home and the search for leisure in rural areas. The rural is refunctionalized, urbanized, modernized, resignificance, emerging as an important leisure area. The arrival of new social groups causes spatial processes characterized by socio-spatial transformation from leisure activities, tourism and second home. Thus, the research sought to analyze how the expansion of leisure and tourism activities has triggered socio-spatial transformations in the rural Gravatá-PE. Based on a qualitative approach, through the collection of data in the registry and government agencies, the statistical and cartographic treatment, using resources such as demography and housing, the study identifies the spatial processes resulting from the expansion of tourism and second residence and analyzes the process of resignification in the rural Gravatá-PE.
