สรุป	Multiple case-based ethnography is a qualitative research design that applies sustained ethnographic fieldwork across two or more purposefully selected cases or sites and then compares the resulting thick descriptions to identify patterns, contrasts, and theoretical insights that would be invisible in a single-site study. It combines the contextual depth of ethnography with the comparative logic of multiple case study analysis.	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.
