Σύνοψη	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.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
