A land unit is an area of land that you want to track in Borealis but that is not a cadastral unit (parcel) or a company-owned asset. For example, it could represent an exploration area, an environmental protection zone, or any other area that is important to your organization.
In Borealis, land units are components of the Land Management module and help you organize information about specific locations. They can be linked to stakeholder records and are referenced in interactions and engagement plans, making it easier to see activities and relationships associated with a particular area.
