Abstract This paper presents the process of scaling of human senses on hardness of residential building floors by means of sensory test, which are the basic knowledges for its evaluating method from a viewpoint of comfortableness. Sensory scales and evaluating scales based on the subjective judgement of hardness were made by sensory test. The sensory test was taken place with 8 sample floors included various materials. The member of panels were 10~15 males and 15 females. The method of sensory test was the method of successive categories. After the sensory test, I could obtain the scaling of human senses on hardness of building floors and confirmed its effectuality by the considerations about the results of analysis of variance. And It turns out that the hardness of building floors can be evaluated by the physical value which corresponded to sensory scales. The physical value was "log(UF1-8×DR×DR/TR)".
