Abstract
The need of a walkway or pathway for a blind group is very important in order to lead them to their destination. Conventional relief tactile blocks with guiding information in Malaysia, however, provide only two guiding signs, which are warning and leading signs. The research was conducted in five phases. These phases comprised the small topic activities of resource, analysis, design, findings, test, result, and discussion. The theory provided the possibility of exploring the environment in a three-way relation of reciprocity: active way, iconic way, and symbolic way.
