الملخص	Longitudinal multiple case study is a qualitative research design that examines two or more bounded cases through repeated data-collection waves over an extended period. By tracking each case across time and comparing patterns across cases, researchers can document how phenomena change, stabilise, or diverge — generating both depth within each site and breadth across sites that neither a single case nor a one-shot survey can provide.	Comparative case study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded cases are studied in depth and then systematically compared to identify similarities, differences, and patterns across contexts. Rooted in Yin's replication logic and Stake's multiple case framework, it is particularly suited to questions that ask how or why a phenomenon unfolds differently — or similarly — across distinct settings, populations, or time periods.
