Should the space be clear and open?
Without the full context it is hard to say. In general, this is the way you would ask it in a questionnaire.

In addition, normally in an English questionnaire you put the "stem" of the question first and do not repeat it each time...for example:
1. Should the space be...
a. abc and def
b. ghi and jkl
c. mno and pqr
etc.

transparent and clear vicinity/surrounding/atmosphere
this answer is the case where the source is among the choices.
I think, in this case as there is no more context, imperative sentence and ... use of modal auxiliary verbs will help; you should provide more context or at least some of the other questions to know where we are standing.
vicinity should/must/shall be ...
it depends all on the questionnaire context as well as the choice of equivalence.
the tense used in questionnaire is usually simple present and use of many modifiers are typical to come to sorts of phrases/clauses ...

as I can see the questions now, you should use simple present tense and/or modal auxiliary verbs such as:
the vicinity should be transparent and clear.
the choices absolutely agree, agree, neutral, disagree, absolutely disagree
