Zusammenfassung	Visual elicitation case study is a qualitative design that embeds photo or image elicitation within a case study framework. Participants respond to photographs, drawings, or other visual materials during in-depth interviews, generating richer and often unexpected data than verbal questioning alone. The case study structure then situates these image-prompted accounts within a bounded real-world context — an individual, organization, community, or event — enabling a holistic, detailed understanding of the case.	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.
