Резюме	Participatory multiple case study research integrates the structured logic of multiple case study design — examining two or more bounded cases to build analytic generalisations — with the collaborative ethics of participatory research, where community members or practitioners co-design the inquiry, co-collect data, and co-interpret findings. The approach combines Yin's replication logic across cases with the emancipatory and co-ownership principles that define participatory action research traditions.	Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a qualitative, community-centred methodology in which researchers and community members collaborate as co-investigators to identify a shared problem, take deliberate action, observe outcomes, and reflect critically on results — cycling iteratively until meaningful change is achieved. Unlike conventional research that studies people from the outside, PAR treats participants as active agents who co-own the research process, the knowledge produced, and the practical interventions that follow.
