21-470: The 948-square-kilometre (366 sq mi) municipality is the 123rd largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Rennebu is the 255th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 2,481. The municipality's population density is 2.7 inhabitants per square kilometre (7.0/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 2.1% over the previous 10-year period. The municipality of Rennebu

42-416: 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. Forollhogna National Park Forollhogna National Park ( Norwegian : Forollhogna nasjonalpark )

63-684: 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 Rennebu is made up of 21 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 Rennebu: Population density Population density (in agriculture : standing stock or plant density )

84-511: 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

105-596: Is a national park in the counties of Trøndelag and Innlandet in Norway . Forollhogna (or Forelhogna ) park includes extensive plant life and is an important range for wild reindeer . The park lies in the municipalities of Tynset , Tolga , and Os in Innlandet and Holtålen , Midtre Gauldal , and Rennebu in Trøndelag . The scenery of Forollhogna consists of large alpine areas, with gentle slopes rising from

126-454: 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

147-507: 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

168-400: Is the finite form of hogn which means "defender" or "protector" (this tall and impressive mountain marks the border between Trøndelag and Innlandet ). The first element comes the name of the lake in the central part of the park: Forollen ( Forollsjøen ). This Innlandet location article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it .

189-654: 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

210-631: The Trondheimsfjord ) to the village of Berkåk where it connects with the road from the Gudbrandsdalen valley and Oppdal to Gauldalen and Trondheim (today the European route E6 ). The last element is bú which means "rural district". The coat of arms was granted on 19 February 1982. The official blazon is " Or , a pall reversed couped gules " ( Norwegian : I gull ein svevande omvend raud gaffelkross ). This means

231-998: 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

252-535: The arms have a field (background) 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 charge is a Y-shaped design in red. The design symbolizes the outline of the local church, Rennebu kirke (erected 1669), which is one of the oldest (and very few) churches in Norway based on a Y-shaped outline. The arms were designed by Bjørn Casper Horgen after an idea by Magne Jostein Hoel. The municipal flag has

273-547: 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)

294-418: The ground (base period 1991–2008). Rennebu 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 first element is, maybe, the plural genitive case of renna which means "journey", "march", or "road". Probably because two old important roads cross the municipality: one follows the Orkla river from the Orkdalsfjord (part of

336-523: The northeastern part of the municipality. The Orkla River flows through the municipality from south to north in the Orkdalen valley. The northeasternmost part of the Trollheimen mountain range also lies within the municipality of Rennebu. The municipality is surrounded by the municipalities of Oppdal and Rindal to the west, Meldal to the north, Midtre Gauldal to the east, and Tynset to

357-576: The same design as the coat of arms. The Church of Norway has three parishes ( sokn ) within the municipality of Rennebu. It is part of the Gauldal prosti ( deanery ) in the Diocese of Nidaros . Rennebu mainly consists of uncultivated areas of mountains , lakes , moors , and forests . The highest point is the 1,548-metre (5,079 ft) tall Svarthetta . The mountain Ilfjellet is located in

378-443: 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

399-588: The south. The Forollhogna National Park lies in the extreme southeastern part of the municipality. Situated at some altitude inland in mid-Norway, Rennebu has a boreal climate . 10 of the 12 record lows are from 1967 or older. The all-time low −37.6 °C (−35.7 °F) is from February 1953. The most recent record low is August from 1987. The all-time high 30.4 °C (86.7 °F) is from July 1991. Snow depth recording in Berkåk (475 m) shows that Berkåk on average has 138 days/year with at least 25 cm snow on

420-419: The valleys below—an area often referred to as "the gentle mountains". Here are thriving villages and a lush cultural landscape formed by the region's farming traditions. For centuries the mountain farms have been in use during the summer, and many still are. This is the setting of Forollhogna National Park, Norway's 19th park to be so designated. The name is a composition of two words. The last element

441-506: Was established in 1839 when it was separated from the municipality of Meldal . Initially, the population was 2,368. On 1 January 1966, the parish of Innset (population: 420) was transferred from Kvikne municipality (and also from Hedmark county) to Rennebu (and Sør-Trøndelag county). Then on 1 January 1970, the Garlia area (population: 5) was transferred from Tynset (and Hedmark county) to Rennebu (and Sør-Trøndelag). On 1 January 2018,
