Social human research and studies are of particular importance as they are considered the only scientific and methodologically accepted way to achieve objective facts that can contribute to the progress and prosperity of society and find solutions to its issues. However, conducting these researches encounter a number of methodological, field, administrative, social and even human difficulties. Indeed, there is no methodological part of any fieldwork that has not mentioned the problems experienced by the researcher while doing his or her scientific fieldwork, but the types of challenges differ from one society to another. This research paper seeks to know the researcher’s legal status and track his or her relationship to field research by understanding the privacy of the community in terms of carrying out research and also determining the researcher’s position in the digital world.
