1. An area evaluation system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing a program code executable by the processor to:
receive a first mission including a plurality of first tasks performable by a plurality of first moving bodies of a first operator within a first space;
receive a second mission including a plurality of second tasks performable by a plurality of second moving bodies within a second space;
in response to determining that the first space of the first mission includes a first area that is not part of the second space of the second mission, evaluate, utility of the first area based on a difference between utility of the first mission and utility of the second mission, the first area subject to transfer of usage rights between a first operator of the first moving bodies and a second operator of the second moving bodies;
select a target mission for the plurality of first moving bodies based on the utility of the first area that has been evaluated; and
cause the first moving bodies to perform the target mission.
