Sažetak	Remote Participant Observation is a qualitative data collection method in which the researcher joins and participates in an online or digitally mediated social setting — such as a video-based community, online forum, virtual world, or remote work environment — to observe and record social interactions, practices, and meanings as they occur naturally, without requiring physical co-presence.	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.
