When a sudden heavy rain occurs, the Semi-Outdoor space such as the entrance of the building has a very useful for temporal evacuation. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between Psychological Evaluation and volume on Semi-Outdoor space with “AMA-YADORI”. The psychological experiment was carried out by full-scale models of Semi-Outdoor space and a rain simulator. The subjects were asked to evaluate the Semi-Outdoor spaces with the various sizes while taking the shelter from rain. As a result, the people’s perception of the AMA-YADORI Spaces related to ‘the depth’ and ‘the ceiling height’ of the space, and there are differences of the perceptions depending on their height and gender.
