Pros: In the Borealis system, taking into account the geometries of dwellings, plantations, annual and fallow crops, as well as sacred sites and cultural heritage, is essential for effective and sustainable land management. The precise structuring of these elements in the Borealis Geographic Information System (GIS) makes it possible to optimize the development of agricultural and urban spaces while preserving ecological and socio-cultural balances. Dwellings and infrastructure must be mapped precisely to ensure harmonious planning and avoid land use conflicts. Plantations and crops require rigorous management to maximize agricultural yields and preserve land fertility by integrating fallow periods. In addition, the identification of sacred sites and cultural heritage is crucial for their preservation and integration into development projects, thus ensuring respect for local traditions and values. All of this geospatial data therefore makes it possible to reconcile economic development, environmental preservation and respect for heritage within the framework of the Borealis system.

Cons: A drawback of the Borealis system is the complexity and burden of collecting and managing geospatial data. The precision required to map settlements, crops, and cultural sites requires significant human and technological resources, which can lead to high costs, extended lead times, and technical challenges in updating information.
