الملخص	Multiple case-based visual analysis is a qualitative design that systematically examines visual materials — photographs, drawings, maps, video stills, or image-rich documents — across two or more purposefully selected cases. By combining Robert Stake's multiple case study logic with visual analysis frameworks, it enables researchers to identify both case-specific visual meanings and cross-case patterns, producing richer comparative insights than either method yields alone.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
