Cyfweliad gyda’r Athro Scott Orford, Prifysgol Caerdydd
Mae’r Athro Scott Orford o Brifysgol Caerdydd yn esbonio sut mae gwefan Deall Lleoedd Cymru yn cyflwyno data defnyddiol a gwybodaeth ddaearyddol am eich tref neu ardal leol. Gall eich helpu i ganfod cyfleoedd ar gyfer eich cymuned a deall y berthynas rhwng eich ardal a mannau eraill gerllaw. Mae hefyd yn caniatáu i grwpiau cymdeithas sifil a chymunedol lleol ddysgu mwy am y mannau lle mae eu haelodau’n byw, yn gweithio ac yn treulio eu hamser hamdden.
