Field-based single case study

A field-based single case study is a qualitative research design that investigates one bounded real-world case — an individual, program, organization, event, or community — in its natural setting through sustained first-hand fieldwork. Drawing on Robert Yin's systematic case study logic and Robert Stake's interpretive tradition, this design combines multiple data sources collected on-site to build a rich, contextualized account of a phenomenon that cannot be separated from its real-world environment.
