요약	Participatory Netnography is a qualitative research approach in which the researcher becomes an active, contributing member of an online community in order to study it from within. Building on Kozinets' netnography framework, it extends the purely observational stance to active participation — the researcher posts, replies, and engages authentically — generating richer, context-embedded data about online social life, consumer culture, or community practices than passive observation alone can provide.	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.
