The Ecological Footprint (EF) was co-developed by William E. Rees and Mathis Wackernagel at the Universityof British Columbia, Canada, in the early 1990s. In recent years, Ecological Footprint analysis has been widelyrecognized and applied in many parts of the world. In this paper, we first discuss the meaning andcontribution of EF analysis in terms of fostering the sustainability of human enterprise. We then review therecent development of EF calculation methods, with a focus on the use of the input-output matrix in EFestimation. We provide an interpretation of global hectarage with a simple numerical example. Thirdly, weattempt to calculate the EF of Shiga Prefecture, Japan, through input-output analysis. In the latter part of thispaper, we explore possible improvements in calculation methods which could reflect whether the use ofresources is sustainable or not. For example, we contemplate ways of taking into account the destructive userate (DUR), the natural capital depletion rate (NCDR) and prolonged impact management (PIM) costs.

This paper aims to clarify how a higher brain dysfunction, Kikuko Yamada recovers from her visual agnosia. According to her notes, the vision damage makes many errors of judging and doing in the everyday life of her. For example, she is not able to operate the water closet, have a meal, and go down the stairs. Sometimes, someone within herself says why don’t you try touching instead of looking to her. After much difficulty, at length, she tries touching many things. Thus, Yamada escapes from the dependence on vision in the modern life centered around vision. Touch as somatic sensation is dull in comparison with vision, audition, taste, olfaction as special sensations. But touch is the base or very root of all sensations. Therefore, touch is the certain, unquestionable, and stable sensation. Then, things which I can touch are manifest to me. Yamada is taught to try touching the surrounding things in order to pass judgment, by someone within herself. Yamada named this someone Zenkochan( Frontal) of Zentouyou( Frontal lobe). Of course, Zenkochan is not the frontal lobe but personality of Yamada. So, she is another“ I,” that is personality. Thus, personality is self, and this self calls Yamada’s attention to touch.
