Field-based hermeneutic phenomenology

Field-based hermeneutic phenomenology investigates the meaning of lived experience by immersing the researcher in the natural setting where participants live, work, or act. Drawing on Heidegger's ontological hermeneutics and van Manen's pedagogical application, it combines sustained fieldwork — observation, conversation, and artefact collection — with iterative interpretive text analysis to uncover how participants understand and inhabit their world.
