Abstract: The small economic importance of agriculture for Rio de Janeiro state does not imply the absence of rural areas, but rather that the rural areas of the state are facing a reality where other functions of rural areas are present (leisure and tourism) and that this situation is capable of providing virtuous rural development processes. Thus, this article aims to analyze and compare the process of rural development in Rio de Janeiro state from multidimensional indicators of rural development, rescuing its determinants. In order to do that, an adaptation of the methodology proposed by Kageyama (2008) was carried out. The necessary data to construct the indicators were collected mainly in the Demographic and Agricultural Census of IBGE and the Ministry of Education. The statistical technique used was factor analysis and cluster analysis. The analysis pointed out the existence of a heterogeneous situation in terms of development in the rural area of Rio de Janeiro, i.e., regions where the development process has been virtuous and associated with the expansion of the manufacturing and services sector and other situations where the coffee and sugarcane cycles have led to the opposite situation.
