Tóm tắt	Field-based oral history is a qualitative research design in which in-depth narrative interviews are conducted on-site — at the community, location, or setting that is historically or experientially significant to participants. By situating interviews in the actual field rather than a laboratory or office, the approach activates contextual memory, enriches description, and grounds personal testimony in the material landscape it references. It is widely used in history, anthropology, sociology, and heritage studies.	Life history research is a qualitative method that captures the full arc of an individual's life — or a significant portion of it — through extended biographical interviewing and analysis of personal documents. Rooted in early Chicago School sociology, the method treats each life story as a window into broader social, cultural, and historical forces. The researcher and participant co-construct a narrative account that illuminates how personal experience is shaped by, and in turn shapes, wider social structures and processes.
