Sažetak	A longitudinal case study is a qualitative research design that combines the in-depth, contextually rich focus of case study methodology with repeated data collection across multiple time points. Rather than capturing a single snapshot, it follows one or a small number of cases — an individual, group, organisation, or programme — over months or years to trace how processes, relationships, and meanings evolve. This design is well suited to questions about how and why things change, not merely what the state of affairs is at one moment.	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.
