Sintesi	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.	A single-case study is a qualitative research design that investigates one bounded instance — an organization, program, event, individual, or community — in its real-world context through multiple converging sources of evidence. Developed into a rigorous social-science method chiefly by Robert Yin and Robert Stake, it is especially powerful when the case is unique, extreme, critical, or revelatory, and when the research question begins with 'how' or 'why' rather than 'how many.'
