Folketalsutviklinga er resultatet av fødselsoverskot pluss nettoflytting. Desse komponentane kan vi bryte ned for å forstå utviklinga enda betre. Fødselsoverskotet er talet på fødde eit år minus talet dødde same år. I 2018 blei det fødd 51 barn samstundes som det dødde 45 personar i befolkninga. Det gav eit fødselsoverskot på 6. I 2017 var talet på fødde 37, døde 48 og fødselsoverskotet -11. Fødselstala er låge både regionalt og nasjonalt, og det er svært få kommunar kor fødselstala er høge nok til å oppretthalde befolkningsstorleiken utan tilflytting eller innvandring. Forutan fødselsoverskotet er det innanlandskflytting og innvandring som vil avgjere om ein kommune opplev vekst eller nedgang. For fylket samla er den innanlandske nettoflyttinga negativ, med eit flyttetap på kring 1000 personar årleg i tidsperioden sida 2012. Av det flyttetapet utgjer om lag 60 prosent personar som tidligare har innvandra til fylket. Den innanlandske nettoflyttinga for kommunen var i 2018 på -56 personar. Det er lågare enn året før, med ei endring på -33 personar. Nettoinnvandringa har vore årsaken til den gode folketalsutviklinga fylket har vore gjennom det siste tiåret. Her har særleg arbeidsinnvandringa vore avgjerande.

  • Maritime Trade and Merchant Shipping: the Shipping/Trade-Ratio from the 1870S Until Today

    Maritime Trade and Merchant Shipping: the Shipping/Trade-Ratio from the 1870S Until Today

    INSTITUTT FOR SAMFUNNSØKONOMI DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS SAM 12 2016 ISSN: 0804-6824 June 2016 Discussion paper Maritime trade and merchant shipping: The shipping/trade-ratio from the 1870s until today BY Jari Ojala AND Stig Tenold This series consists of papers with limited circulation, intended to stimulate discussion. Maritime trade and merchant shipping: The shipping/trade-ratio from the 1870s until today Jari Ojala, University of Jyväskylä Stig Tenold, Norwegian School of Economics This paper discusses the development of countries’ market shares in world shipping over the last 150 years. The analysis is based upon a new and purpose-built indicator: the shipping/trade-ratio. This indicator presents the relationship between the merchant marine of a country and the country’s role in world trade. Analysis of the shipping/trade-ratio identifies two important developments. First, although the share of the world fleet registered in Europe has dropped significantly, Europe’s role in world shipping over the last fifty years has been more stable than is commonly perceived. Second, there appears to have been an increasing specialisation in the world shipping industry, both among and within continents. Internationally and within Europe, certain “super-transporters” have acquired large market shares, while most countries have relatively limited fleets. “The sea-shore has been the point of departure, to knowledge, as to commerce. The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most.”1 Introduction Within naval history, the question of “maritime power” plays an important role. Countless books have been written and numerous careers have been forged trying to define, discuss and debate the question of what constitutes maritime power and who the maritime powers are and have been.2 Within merchant shipping history, the power question has seldom been explicitly discussed, though it has been an implicit element of national historical narratives.

Av i alt 48 avgrensede naturtypelokaliteter er 4 vurdert som svært viktige for det biologiske mangfoldet (A), 22 som viktige (B) og 22 som lokalt viktige (C). Disse er fordelte på 15 ulike naturtyper. De største naturverdiene er knyttet til hovednaturtypene havstrand, kystlynghei, fuktige nordberg og skog. Av rødlistearter ble det i 2008 funnet enkelte sopper. For øyeblikket er det kjent 11 rødlistede karplanter, 11 sopper og 4 lavarter i kommunen. I tillegg kommer en del viltarter som ikke er med i denne rapporten.

At the center of the first three chapters is film footage made in connec- tion with Roald Amundsen’s Fram expedition to the South Pole in 1910–12. Espen Ytreberg examines the film as part of a broader media event, Jane Gaines considers how the film footage in conjunc- tion with Amundsen’s diary can be used in the writing of history, and Jan Anders Diesen traces the century-long tradition of Norwe- gian polar expedition film, from Amundsen up to the present.
