| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I tried to demonstrate the transition of social welfare administration during the occupied period. For that purpose, I used the materials from June 1946 (Showa 21) to September of the following year by a certain person who served as a Minse-iin in Sami Village, Kamo District, Gifu Prefecture (currently Shimosami, Shirakawa Town). At the time when the members of Homen-iin were changed to Minsei-iin, they were considered to be an auxiliary organization for implementing Public Assistance. Furthermore, on October 31, 1949 (Showa 24), it was clarified that it is a cooperating organization for the implementation of Public Assistance by the 72nd Social Bureau and Children Bureau DirectorJoint Name Notification. However, it can be inferred from the materials that this transition resulted in the succession of prewar social business administration, leaving the so-called "honorary discretion".

被占領期の「生活困窮者生活援護事業」が当初は旧生活保護法の成立見込みを踏まえて実施されていたことや「生活困窮者救済用元軍用衣糧配給」が行われていたことがわかった。また方面委員（民生委員）が「所轄勤労署連絡委員」に選任されていたことや「余裕住宅の開放」に関しては、貸付勧告や貸付命令も行われていたことも明確にできた。ただ後者についての民生委員の役割はよくわからない。さらに佐見村では、役場厚生係から民生委員に対して保護受給者の生活扶助日額が通達されていたことも判明した。これらによって当時の社会事業行政の実状がある程度把握できた。
