This paper considers the significance and limitations of the concept of self-decision making in the welfare sector, and takes an overall look at the effects of this concept upon the welfare sector. Firstly, in a juridicial approach to the concept of self-decision making, the present constitutional arguments are analyzed and verified ; then the legal eligibility of self-decision making for an established right is investigated. Secondly, in a sociological approach to the concept of self-decision making, the effects of this concept on other people and interactive effects among other people (paternalism) are analyzed. On the basis of these juridical and sociological analyses, this paper presents the following three points of view : 1. Necessity for respecting self-decision making without considering it to be a mere right 2. How to mitigate paternalism, which is an urgent issue in the social welfare sector 3. Need for improving welfare for the community and offering more options in the welfare sector, so that self-decision making can be respected Lastly, based on clarification of the relationships of self-decision making to self-choice and self-responsibility, the following points are considered : 1. Self-decision making by disabled people 2. Self-decision making by those who support disabled people 3. Self-decision making in the community including disabled people
