A: A site within 1/2 mile walking distance to a public park
B: A site located next door to residential condominiums
C: A site that has underground parking and open space on the property
D: A site located within 1/2 mile walking distance of a commuter rail line

参考答案: A

本题解释:
Community connectivity is the quantity of connection between a site and the surrounding community. Community connectivity channels development to urban areas with existing infrastructure. This includes areas with walkways and areas near basic services.

Basic services are those services that are open to the public, and are common services that people might use regularly. People must be able to walk between the project and the service without being blocked by walls, highways, or other barriers (this is called pedestrian access). LEED encourages building near a variety of basic services, not just one type of service such as twelve clothing stores in a strip mall. LEED provides examples of basic services as:

Bank
Church
Supermarket / convenience store
Day care
Dry cleaner / laundry mat
Fire station
Salon
Hardware store
Library
Medical / dental office
Park
Pharmacy
Post office
Restaurant
School
Theatre / museum
Community center
Gym;;Residences are not a type of basic service;Open space on the site does not count as community connectivity;D item would help with providing public transportation access.Reference: LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations Rating System
