Views: Exemplary Performance - Human Activity

For Views Exemplary Performance, Measure #2: Has anyone had experience with what LEED considers 'human activity'? A few of our views are obvious and fall within this category (baseball field, pavilion, plaza), but on one side of the building we only have a paved sidewalk that occurs between two adjacent buildings. Can we consider this a view of 'human activity' if it is considered a means of human circulation between buildings? Not sure what parameters LEED will consider as viable in documenting this credit. Thank you for any insight!

People walking on a sidewalk is a human activity.

Thanks! Would the same be true for a view of a parking lot where people are getting out of their cars and walking towards a building? Even though this doesn't seem like the most glamorous view of human activity, based on your answer above I presume it will be 'yes'?

Yes, any activity that humans do. In fact you can make the point that people driving a car is human activity. You basically need to have some form of human motion, no static environment.
