Mae&#x27;r graffeg, y mapiau a&#x27;r canllawiau ar y wefan wedi cael eu datblygu i&#x27;ch galluogi i archwilio&#x27;r data sydd ei angen arnoch i&#x27;ch helpu i nodi cyfleoedd i&#x27;ch cymuned leol a gwneud gwahaniaeth yn y lle rydych chi&#x27;n byw neu&#x27;n gweithio.Mae&#x27;r wefan yn cynnwys gwybodaeth am y 307 lle yng Nghymru sydd â 1,000 neu ragor o drigolion, ac mae gwybodaeth fanylach ar gael ar gyfer y 193 o leoedd sydd â 2,000 o drigolion neu ragor. Gellir gweld data ar gyfer lleoedd llai drwy&#x27;r offeryn Mapiau Cymdogaethau.Mae pob tudalen lle yn darparu data am:1. Nodweddion demograffeg, cymdeithasol ac economaidd ardal; 2. Pa wasanaethau ac asedau cymunedol sydd ar gael, gan gynnwys trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus; a3. Sut mae pobl yn symud rhwng lleoedd, fel cymudo a phatrymau mudo.Yn rhan o&#x27;r digwyddiad hwn, dangosir sut y gallwch ddefnyddio&#x27;r data am eich ardal leol i&#x27;ch helpu i ddeall ble rydych chi&#x27;n byw yn well.Bydd y gweithdy hwn hefyd yn dangos i chi sut i ddefnyddio teclyn cymharu&#x27;r wefan a dulliau dosbarthu lleoedd i nodi tebygrwydd a gwahaniaethau rhwng lleoedd. Gall cymharu lleoedd roi syniadau i chi ar gyfer eich lle, neu gynnig cyfleoedd i gydweithio a rhannu strategaethau llwyddiannus gyda rhanddeiliaid mewn mannau tebyg i&#x27;ch lle eich hun.Bydd y digwyddiad yn canolbwyntio&#x27;n benodol ar Gaerdydd a de Cymru.

The availability of community services and assets, including public transport; and,3.	How people move between places, such as commuting and migration patterns.As part of this event you will be shown how you can use the data about your local area to help you better understand where you live.This workshop will also show you how to use the website’s comparison tool and place classifications to identify similarities and differences between places. Comparing places may give you ideas for your place, or offer opportunities for collaboration and sharing of successful strategies with stakeholders in places similar to your own.This event will focus specifically on Cardiff and South Wales.
