A gas sensor element and a related manufacturing method are disclosed. The gas sensor element comprises a solid electrolyte body 11, having oxygen ion conductivity, which has both surfaces formed with a measuring gas detecting electrode and a reference gas detecting electrode, respectively, and a porous layer, covering the measuring gas detecting electrode and permeating measuring gases, which is formed using a porous layer green sheet containing fibrous organic materials, oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to a thickness direction thereof, which are caused to burn down to form a coarse layer with large porosity in one area closer to the solid electrolyte and a dense layer with less porosity than that of the coarse layer in the other area remote from the solid electrolyte body to provide capability of permeating measuring gases in a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of the porous layer.
