Abstract

This animated movie, titled Heisei Gassen Tanuki Pon Poko, tells the story of tanuki (raccoons) in the Tama area, a suburb of Tokyo. At first, they lived peacefully until the habitat where they lived was threatened by a massive housing development project. This research aims to investigate the changes the tanuki’s habitat due to neighbourhood modernization. The process of habitat change will be examined using Todorov's narrative model. This research uses qualitative methods, also uses narrative analysis. The results of the data analysis revealed a change of the tanuki habit due to modernization in their environment. After their habitat transformed into an urban area, the tanuki also changed in their lifestyle due to the impact of modernization on their habitat. Todorov's narrative, used in this paper, illustrates how the transition from the initial stage to the final stage necessitates the tanuki's adaptation to the new environment.

Notes for Usage of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

The following guidance refers only to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.
The technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Authors must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing must be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when the paper is first submitted.
We do not permit the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts.
The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of artwork such as for graphical abstracts is not permitted. The use of generative AI in the production of cover art may in some cases be allowed, if the author obtains prior permission from the journal editor and publisher, can demonstrate that all necessary rights have been cleared for the use of the relevant material, and ensures that there is correct content attribution.
