Muhtasari	Field-based autoethnography is a qualitative research design in which the researcher immerses themselves in a specific physical or social setting and draws on their own lived experience within that field to produce analytically reflexive accounts. It blends the systematic observational practices of ethnographic fieldwork with the first-person introspective voice of autoethnography, generating knowledge that is simultaneously personal, cultural, and contextually grounded.	Field-based ethnography is a qualitative research design in which the researcher immerses themselves in a social setting or community over an extended period, observing and participating in everyday life to understand cultural practices, meanings, and social dynamics from an insider perspective. It is the classical form of ethnography, grounded in sustained physical presence at a research site, and distinguished from archival, virtual, or document-only approaches by its central reliance on direct, embodied fieldwork.
