16-604: The origin of the family is in Zala County in Hungary. In 1470, a "Georg Koháry" is mentioned in the court of King Matthias I Corvinus . The first notable member of the family was Peter Koháry (1564–1629), who was rewarded as the Baron of Csábrág by Emperor Ferdinand II and became commander of the fortress of Érsekújvár . His son Stephan I Koháry (1616–1664) fought against the Turks and died in

32-499: Is 53/km (140/sq mi). This includes all continental and island land area, including Antarctica . However, if Antarctica is excluded, then population density rises to over 58 per square kilometre (150/sq mi). The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed a suite of (open and free) data and tools named the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) to improve the science for policy support to

48-450: Is a measurement of population per unit land area. It is mostly applied to humans , but sometimes to other living organisms too. It is a key geographical term. Population density is population divided by total land area , sometimes including seas and oceans, as appropriate. Low densities may cause an extinction vortex and further reduce fertility. This is called the Allee effect after

64-499: Is around 8,000,000,000 and the Earth 's total area (including land and water) is 510,000,000 km (200,000,000 sq mi). Therefore, the worldwide human population density is approximately 8,000,000,000 ÷ 510,000,000 = 16/km (41/sq mi). However, if only the Earth's land area of 150,000,000 km (58,000,000 sq mi) is taken into account, then human population density

80-510: The 2014 local government elections , is made up of 15 counselors, with the following party composition: Zala County has two urban counties , eight towns , two large villages and 246 villages. (ordered by population, as of 2011 census ) [REDACTED] municipalities are large villages. 46°40′N 16°50′E  /  46.667°N 16.833°E  / 46.667; 16.833 Population density Population density (in agriculture : standing stock or plant density )

96-631: The European Commission Directorate Generals and Services and as support to the United Nations system. Several of the most densely populated territories in the world are city-states , microstates and urban dependencies . In fact, 95% of the world's population is concentrated on just 10% of the world's land. These territories have a relatively small area and a high urbanization level, with an economically specialized city population drawing also on rural resources outside

112-556: The battle of Léva . In 1685, Stephan II Koháry (1649–1731) became the first count in his family. He fought against the Ottoman Empire and the Kuruc. After his death, his fortune went to his nephew Andreas Koháry (1694–1757). All Kohárys had been officers and generals of the Habsburg emperors. On 15 November 1815, the head of the house, Ferenc József Koháry (1760–1826), who served as

128-496: The Hungarian Chancellor, was given the title of Fürst von Koháry (Prince of Koháry) by Emperor Francis I of Austria . Upon the death of Ferenc József, his only surviving child, a daughter named Mária Antónia (1797–1862), was proclaimed "heiress of the name" ( fíúsított ). When she married in 1816 (January 2), her husband Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha took the name Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry . Among

144-520: The Hungarian counties Vas , Veszprém and Somogy . The seat of Zala County is Zalaegerszeg. Its area is 3,784 square kilometres (1,461 sq mi). Lake Balaton lies partly in the county. In the tenth century, the Hungarian Nyék tribe occupied the region around Lake Balaton . Their occupation was mainly in the areas known today as Zala and Somogy counties. Parts of the western territory of

160-520: The Hungarian majority, the main minorities are the Roma (approx. 7,000), Croats (3,500) and Germans (2,000). Total population (2011 census): 282,179 Ethnic groups (2011 census): Identified themselves: 255 069 persons: Approx. 38,000 persons in Zala County did not declare their ethnic group at the 2011 census. Religious adherence in the county according to 2011 census: The Zala County Council, elected at

176-988: The area, illustrating the difference between high population density and overpopulation . Deserts have very limited potential for growing crops as there is not enough rain to support them. Thus, their population density is generally low. However, some cities in the Middle East, such as Dubai , have been increasing in population and infrastructure growth at a fast pace. Cities with high population densities are, by some, considered to be overpopulated, though this will depend on factors like quality of housing and infrastructure and access to resources. Very densely populated cities are mostly in Asia (particularly Southeast Asia ); Africa's Lagos , Kinshasa , and Cairo ; South America's Bogotá , Lima , and São Paulo ; and Mexico City and Saint Petersburg also fall into this category. City population and especially area are, however, heavily dependent on

192-547: The definition of "urban area" used: densities are almost invariably higher for the center only than when suburban settlements and intervening rural areas are included, as in the agglomeration or metropolitan area (the latter sometimes including neighboring cities). In comparison, based on a world population of 8 billion, the world's inhabitants, if conceptualized as a loose crowd occupying just under 1 m (10 sq ft) per person (cf. Jacobs Method ), would occupy an area of 8,000 square kilometres (3,100 sq mi)

208-416: The descendants of Mária Antónia and Ferdinand are the last emperor of Austria ( Charles I ), the last four kings of Portugal ( Pedro V , Luís I , Carlos I , Manuel II ), and the last three tsars of Bulgaria ( Ferdinand I , Boris III , Simeon II ). The Kohárys belonged among the magnates of Hungary. Their holdings were calculated to be around 150,000 hectares, making Princess Maria Antonia Koháry one

224-488: The former county of Zala are now part of Slovenia ( South-Prekmurje ) and Croatia ( Međimurje ). In 1919 it was part of the unrecognized state of the Republic of Prekmurje , which existed for just six days. Religion in Zala County (2022 census – of those who declared their religion (62.5%)) In 2015, it had a population of 277,290 and the population density was 73 inhabitants per square kilometre (190/sq mi). Besides

240-614: The richest heiresses in Europe at the time of her marriage to Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha . Zala County Zala ( Hungarian : Zala vármegye , pronounced [ˈzɒlɒ] ; Croatian : Zalska županija ; županija Zala ) is an administrative county ( comitatus or vármegye ) in south-western Hungary. It is named after the Zala River . It shares borders with Croatia ( Koprivnica–Križevci and Međimurje Counties ) and Slovenia ( Lendava and Moravske Toplice ) and

256-443: The scientist who identified it. Examples of the causes of reduced fertility in low population densities are: Population density is the number of people per unit of area, usually transcribed as "per square kilometer" or square mile, and which may include or exclude, for example, areas of water or glaciers. Commonly this is calculated for a county , city , country , another territory or the entire world . The world's population
