本题解释:
Notes:

Reference: LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations Rating System


Community connectivity channels development to urban areas where existing infrastructure already exists, and avoids building on undeveloped land.

In the reference guides the intent of Development Density and Community Connectivity is:

\'To channel development to urban areas with existing infrastructure, protect greenfields and preserve habitat and natural resources.\'

Protecting greenfields = protecting undeveloped land

Access to public transportation helps with reducing automobile use in the LEED Rating System, however access to public transportationit is not part of the community connectivity credit. While it is true that locating a project in a downtown area would provide access to public transportation, this is not the intent of community connectivity as defined by LEED.
