תקציר	Multiple case-based ethnography is a qualitative research design that applies sustained ethnographic fieldwork across two or more purposefully selected cases or sites and then compares the resulting thick descriptions to identify patterns, contrasts, and theoretical insights that would be invisible in a single-site study. It combines the contextual depth of ethnography with the comparative logic of multiple case study analysis.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
