תקציר	Digital Hermeneutic Phenomenology applies van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological tradition to phenomena that are lived, shaped, or mediated through digital technologies and online environments. Rather than treating the digital channel as a mere convenience for data collection, this approach treats participants' online experiences as phenomena worthy of interpretive inquiry in their own right — asking what it means to live, relate, learn, or work in and through digital spaces.	Netnography is a qualitative research method that adapts the principles of cultural ethnography to the study of online communities and social media environments. Coined by Robert Kozinets in 1997 and systematised in his 2010 handbook, netnography treats digital spaces — forums, social networks, blogs, review sites — as naturally occurring field sites where communities gather, share meanings, and construct identities. The method combines unobtrusive observation of digital traces with active participation and, where appropriate, direct member interaction.
