Muhtasari	A participatory single case study is a qualitative design that examines one bounded case in depth while actively involving community members, practitioners, or participants as co-researchers throughout the inquiry. It blends Yin's case study rigor — triangulated evidence, thick description of context — with participatory action research values of collaboration, equity, and action. The result is both a rich, contextual understanding of the case and a knowledge-building process that serves the people within it.	Case study research is a qualitative research design that investigates a specific phenomenon, individual, group, organisation, or event in depth within its real-world context. Systematised by Robert K. Yin in 1984, it supports single-case and multiple-case designs and draws on multiple data sources — interviews, observation, documents, and artefacts — to build a rich, contextualised account of a bounded unit.
