19-458: The 632-square-kilometre (244 sq mi) municipality is the 185th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Rindal is the 283rd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,957. The municipality's population density is 3.2 inhabitants per square kilometre (8.3/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 5% over the previous 10-year period. The parish of Rindal

38-430: A little less than the land area of Puerto Rico , 8,868 square kilometres (3,424 sq mi). Although the arithmetic density is the most common way of measuring population density, several other methods have been developed to provide alternative measures of population density over a specific area. Gr%C3%B8nkj%C3%B8len Nature Reserve The Grønkjølen Nature Reserve ( Norwegian : Grønkjølen naturreservat )

57-691: Is indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council. The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the Trøndelag District Court and the Frostating Court of Appeal . The municipal council ( Kommunestyre ) of Rindal is made up of 17 representatives that are elected to four year terms. The tables below show the current and historical composition of the council by political party . The mayors ( Norwegian : ordfører ) of Rindal: Population density Population density (in agriculture : standing stock or plant density )

76-499: 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

95-450: 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

114-499: 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

133-602: Is located in Møre og Romsdal and Trøndelag counties in Norway . The reserve is located in the municipalities of Surnadal (in Møre og Romsdal) and Rindal and Heim (in Trøndelag). The nature reserve covers 332.1 hectares (821 acres) and most of it lies in the municipality of Rindal. The reserve was established in 1996 to protect a large intact marsh area in a mountainous region, according to

152-495: The Diocese of Nidaros . This transfer was a result of the municipality of Rindal being transferred from Møre og Romsdal county to Trøndelag county in 2019. The municipality lies in the southwestern part of Trøndelag county, along the border with Møre og Romsdal county. Rindal formerly was part of Møre og Romsdal and at that time, it was the only landlocked municipality in that county. The lakes Foldsjøen and Gråsjøen lie along

171-631: 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

190-581: The Formannskapsdistrikt law in 1837. The arms were designed by Einar Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms. The Church of Norway has one parish ( sokn ) within the municipality of Rindal. It was historically part of the Indre Nordmøre prosti ( deanery ) in the Diocese of Møre . On 1 January 2020, the parish of Rindal was transferred to the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in

209-406: The charge is a gavel . The gavel has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The gavel is meant to symbolize John Neergaard , who is considered the father of municipal governments in Norway, ( formannskapets far ), who was from Rindal. He was responsible for pushing for local government reform which led to the approval of

228-988: 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

247-470: The border with Surnadal to the southwest. The large river Surna begins in Rindal at the confluence of the rivers Tiåa and Lomunda . The Trollheimen mountain range runs through southern Rindal. The Grønkjølen Nature Reserve lies in the extreme northwest of the municipality. The municipality of Surnadal lies to the west in Møre og Romsdal county. Rindal shares a border with five other municipalities to

266-547: 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)

285-414: The name of the municipality was spelled Rindalen . On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Rindal , removing the definite form ending -en . The coat of arms was granted on 20 January 1989. The official blazon is " Vert , a gavel Or " ( Norwegian : I grønt en opprett gull klubbe ). This means the arms have a green field (background) and

Rindal Municipality is responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services , senior citizen services, welfare and other social services , zoning , economic development , and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor

323-443: 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

342-516: Was established as a municipality in 1858 when it was separated from Surnadal Municipality . It was originally located within Møre og Romsdal county. The initial population of Rindal was 2,684. On 1 January 2008, the Fossdalen farm (population: 4) was transferred from Rindal (in Møre og Romsdal county) to Hemne Municipality (in Sør-Trøndelag county). On 1 January 2019, the municipality of Rindal

361-451: Was transferred from Møre og Romsdal county to Trøndelag county. The municipality (originally the parish ) is named after the old Rindal farm ( Old Norse : Rindudalr ) since the first Rindal Church was built there. The first element is the genitive case of the river name Rinda which is derived from the verb rinna which means to "run" or "flow". The last element is dalr which means " valley " or "dale". Historically,
