Under natural assumptions on the thermodynamical properties of space and using the holographic principle we reproduce a MOND-like behaviour of gravity on particular scales of mass and length, where Newtonian gravity requires modification or extension if no dark matter component is introduced in the description of gravitational phenomena. The result is directly obtained with the assumption that a fundamental constant of nature needs to be introduced into the problem. This calculation extends the one by Verlinde (2010) in which Newtonian gravity is shown to be an emergent phenomenon and together with it, suggests that gravity at all scales is emergent.
