Резюме	Longitudinal Visual Analysis (LVA) is a qualitative research design that systematically collects, organises, and interprets visual data — photographs, video, maps, or diagrams — gathered at two or more time points to document change, continuity, or transformation in people, places, or social phenomena. By anchoring analysis to the temporal dimension of images, LVA goes beyond what a single-moment visual study can reveal, making visible patterns of development or decay that are otherwise invisible in a snapshot.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.
