Sintesi	Visual elicitation case study is a qualitative design that embeds photo or image elicitation within a case study framework. Participants respond to photographs, drawings, or other visual materials during in-depth interviews, generating richer and often unexpected data than verbal questioning alone. The case study structure then situates these image-prompted accounts within a bounded real-world context — an individual, organization, community, or event — enabling a holistic, detailed understanding of the case.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
