The LANDMAP database includes both objective and subjective information and is designed to enable landscape quality to be taken into account in decision making. This is a geographic dataset showing geological landscape classification for Wales in the form of polygons (Aspect Areas) with large amounts of associated textual information, including General, Description, Evaluation, Recommendations, Tolerance to Change, Area Boundary, Evaluation and Bibliography. Information is gathered by LANDMAP in order to inform sustainable decision making and to enable landscape to be taken into account during decision making processes. The Geological Landscape dataset is important as geology is often the strongest influence on the landscape, affecting drainage patterns, vegetation cover, the human environment and so on. These effects in turn determine the possibilities for agriculture, water sources, transport networks etc. 2003 to 2008 then updated at regular intervals. This dataset maps geological, geomorphological and hydrological features of an area. The geographical and topographical characters of areas are noted as are significant active geological and geomorphological processes, and landscape - forming pedological processes.

Mae LandMap yn system wybodaeth genedlaethol unigryw, sy’n caniatáu i wybodaeth am dirwedd yng Nghymru gael ei chasglu a’i threfnu'n i set ddata sy'n gyson yn genedlaethol. Mae cronfa ddata Landmap yn cynnwys gwybodaeth wrthrychol a goddrychol a'i hamcan yw galluogi i ansawdd y dirwedd gael ei ystyried wrth wneud penderfyniadau. Mae’n cynnwys set ddata ddaearegol sy’n dangos dosbarthiad tirwedd daearegol Cymru ar ffurf polygonau (Ardaloedd Agwedd) gyda llawer o wybodaeth destunol gysylltiedig, gan gynnwys Cyffredinol, Disgrifiad, Gwerthusiad, Argymhellion, Goddefgarwch tuag at Newid, Ffin yr Ardal, Gwerthusiad a Llyfryddiaeth. Cesglir gwybodaeth gan LandMap er mwyn llywio'r broses o wneud penderfyniadau cynaliadwy ac er mwyn galluogi ystyried y tirlun yn ystod prosesau gwneud penderfyniadau. Mae'r set ddata Tirwedd Ddaearegol yn bwysig gan mai daeareg yw'r dylanwad cryfaf ar y dirwedd yn aml, gan effeithio ar batrymau draenio, y gorchudd llystyfiant, yr amgylchedd dynol ac yn y blaen. Mae'r effeithiau hyn yn eu tro yn dylanwadu ar y posibiliadau ar gyfer amaethyddiaeth, ffynonellau dŵr, rhwydweithiau trafnidiaeth ac ati. 2003 i 2008 ac yna’u diweddaru'n rheolaidd. Mae'r set ddata hon yn mapio nodweddion daearegol, geomorffolegol a hydrolegol ardal. Nodir nodweddion daearyddol a thopograffig ardaloedd ynghyd â phrosesau daearegol a geomorffolegol gweithredol sylweddol, a phrosesau priddegol sy’n ffurfio’r dirwedd. Er bod y storfeydd llwytho i lawr yn cael eu hadnewyddu o bryd i'w gilydd ac y dylent fod yn gyson â'r gwasanaeth gwe, os oes angen gwarant bod y data byw yn cael ei ddefnyddio, dylid defnyddio diweddbwynt WFS neu WMS.
