territories development. The main objective was to carry out an analysis of the new social and economic development dynamics of the administrative region Vale do Rio Pardo, using the theoretical, methodological and multidisciplinary approach of the Rural Located Productive Systems. The historical, institutional and cultural processes of formation of the rural territories of the region were identified as well as the main institutions and actors with local performance. The study was made by means of an empirical analysis of the development dynamics of the territories of the region Vale do Rio Pardo, through an elaboration of a typology of the Rural Located Productive Systems of the region. It was possible to identify four diversified and complex territories in the region and their reproduction represented and characterized in the form of rural districts. Finally, it is suggested that the theoretical assumptions of the regulation and productive reorganization and territorial perspective of the rural development as well as the approach of the Rural Located Productive Systems could be used as theoretical and methodological instruments in the study of the development dynamics of rural territories.
