This study searched for the common and different aspects of social community welfare
centers and health family support centers for family welfare practice of the community.
We also tried to find out the awareness of workers and the performance function for each
institution. Through the interviews and review of literature, and comparative analysis of
operating status, we looked for the common and different aspects, and the direction of
development, which evolved family welfare into the community by way of function and
relationships of both institutions. As a result, the participants of this study pursued
common purposes. They however made aware of the issues of discrimination about social
values and each institution's functions. We suggest that the social community welfare
center focuses on individuals and families, in order to integrate the community. A health
family support center should play the role to fulfill needs for family welfare according to
family life cycle, and have good accessibility for individuals and families in the
community.
