Muhtasari	Participatory Narrative Research (PNR), often operationalized as Participatory Narrative Inquiry (PNI), is a qualitative research design in which community members or stakeholders collect, share, and collectively interpret their own stories to understand complex social phenomena. Unlike researcher-driven narrative approaches, PNR places participants at the center of data collection, analysis, and sense-making, generating actionable insights grounded in lived community experience.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
