Muhtasari	Field-based digital ethnography is a qualitative research design that combines traditional in-person fieldwork with systematic collection and analysis of digital data. Rather than studying online communities in isolation, it traces how social life moves between physical settings and digital spaces, treating both as equally real sites of cultural practice. Rooted in Christine Hine's virtual ethnography and Sarah Pink's digital ethnography principles, it is particularly suited to studying communities whose practices span offline and online worlds.	Visual elicitation ethnography is a qualitative research design that integrates sustained ethnographic fieldwork with the systematic use of visual stimuli — photographs, video clips, drawings, or participant-produced images — to prompt deeper, more reflexive accounts from community members. By combining prolonged immersion in a social setting with image-mediated interviews, researchers gain access to tacit knowledge and cultural meanings that verbal questioning alone rarely surfaces.
