In the 2nd Chapter, the significance of the age of localization and local autonomy have been perused and the functions of administration for social welfare being performed by administrative agencies of the local autonomy have been studied. In Chapter 3, the status and issues related to administration for social welfare have been studied and in Chapter 4 the measures for improvements for the issues emerged have been discussed.

Thirdly, the need for more positive delegation of responsibilities for the operation, conferring the right for autonomy for the welfare administration and the local social welfare organization should be more reinforced and vitalized. Fourthly, as to the question for the system of exclusive agency responsible for transmitting social welfare functions it is required that the agency in charge of such responsibility should be independent and more expanded and shall engage in the welfare service coinciding with the purpose of the local autonomy. Further more the roles of private social welfare organizations should be increased so that they can assume expanded functions in terms of accessibility and operations. Moreover more ideological and practical ideas for service by the families should be expanded. Social welfare administration should be provided to the people eligible in consideration of uniqueness and independence of the region rather than implementation of centralization. From this sense, the welfare administration befitting to the era of localization should be based on responsiveness and democratic principles and the rationality and effectiveness should be more improved and it should be geared to the protection of physical welfare of the residents and contribution for the assured conditions for better life style.
