The construction units used in pavement reinforce the functional and aesthetic effects of sidewalks and public places in the city. The pavement can be carried out from paving of different materials, which can be used according to the location and the surrounding environment. There are a number of pavers, including prefabricated concrete, asphalt, stone, etc. The study will examine the precast concrete (flag) that is used in pavement of sidewalk. Research problem : Locally, there is a weakness in integrating the engineering standards of pavement with the standards of urban design to achieve the special and distinctive urban form, which is appropriate for use. The non-use of colours in the direction of movement and the realization of privacy and the definition of use leads to lack of care for the urban environment, and its components. Research hypothesis: The integration of engineering and construction standards of precast concrete flags used in paving sidewalks and streets must be met with urban design standards to achieve the appropriate urban shape in the urban environment, needing to use colours to guide traffic and achieve privacy and definition of use.
