Резюме	Field-based phenomenology is a qualitative approach that investigates the lived experience of a phenomenon by collecting data in the natural environments where that experience actually unfolds — rather than exclusively in interview rooms. Drawing on the phenomenological tradition of Husserl and Heidegger, and systematised by Max van Manen, it combines sustained fieldwork observation with open-ended, in-situ conversation to capture the experiential texture of phenomena as participants encounter them in everyday life.	Interpretive phenomenology is a qualitative research design that investigates the meaning people attribute to their lived experiences by combining phenomenological description with hermeneutic interpretation. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and systematised for social and human sciences by Max van Manen, it moves beyond description to ask what an experience means within a person's broader lifeworld, cultural context, and situated understanding. The researcher's own interpretive horizon is treated as an analytical resource rather than a bias to eliminate.
