This article aims to analyse the function and activity of the social welfare-related standing committee in local assembly. A special emphasis is brought on to the case of the local assembly of Daegu Metropolitan City. Theoretical discussion was made over local assembly's activity on legislation, budget deliberation, and administrative inspection. While local assembly's function to make laws and decisions was analysed through the number of legislation and assemblymen's speaking, its activity on budget deliberation was delved by anatomising the amount of budget reduction in the process of deliberating the local government's budget. Local assembly's function on the supervision over administrative affairs was evaluated by reviewing the content of administrative inspection and investigation.
