Përmbledhja	An interpretive single case study is a qualitative research design that examines one bounded instance — a person, organisation, event, programme, or community — in depth, with the explicit goal of understanding what that case means to the people within it. Drawing on Stake's notion of the intrinsic case and an interpretivist epistemological stance, the approach treats meaning as socially constructed and context-dependent, making rich, contextual understanding its primary output.	Interpretive multiple case study is a qualitative research design in which the researcher studies two or more bounded cases in depth, using an interpretivist stance to understand how participants construct meaning within each setting. Rather than seeking law-like generalizations, it aims to generate rich, context-sensitive understanding that is then compared across cases to reveal patterns, contrasts, and theoretical insights.
