Sintesi	Field-based netnography combines the systematic online community observation of netnography with direct in-person fieldwork. Researchers move between digital spaces and physical sites where the same community or practice exists, triangulating online discourse with face-to-face encounters. This approach is particularly suited to communities whose identity and practices span both online and offline worlds — fan communities, patient groups, activist networks, and professional subcultures, among others.	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.
