本研究の目的は，世帯更生貸付金制度が生活保護行政に果たした役割について明らかにすることである。1950年代後半，生活保護受給者の増加とその周辺の大量の低所得層の増加が生活保護行政の転換に影響を与えたと考える。そこで，生活保護の第一次適正化と世帯更生資金貸付制度を中心とした低所得層対策の関係性を考察する。日本の生活保護行政は，低所得層対策と関連しながら引締め策を展開してきたと考える。その過程は，ワーキングプアを排除してきた変遷でもある。この課題を解くことによって今日の生活困窮者に対する自立支援策の課題に示唆を与えたい。

The purpose of this study is to clarify the structure of management issues at the district council of social welfare by the district type, based on the results of an awareness survey to the officers of the councils. The following four points were suggested. (1) Establishment of a secretariat system is an urgent issue in the town district, and the point is that the staff should indirectly support the reduction of the burden on the officers. (2) In the new town district, it is important for the concerned parties to participate in the goal setting, formulation, or evaluation of the district welfare plan on the basis of the district council of social welfare as a unit, in addition to the officers and leaders. (3) In the merged district, the key points are surveys of activity desires of leaders, opportunities for individual participation, and task-specific group activities. (4) In all types of districts, there is a possibility that the participation of the leaders and the concerned parties will be a key point, and the participation of the concerned parties in particular will make it easier to grasp the needs of each issue.

This paper focuses on the process of revising the community-based welfare action plan by the City A social welfare council and discusses the factors that changed the activity plan from business by social cooperation to district activities in a small area. As a result, it was found that the policy of appointing multiple vice-chairpersons and not aligning by districts is an important factor in the revision process. Also, since the revision process of city A was created through dialogue among stakeholders, it is considered that a shift from project to district activity was realized.
