The city of Daegu has six kinds of special zones- Educational Globalization Special Area, Local specialization development zone, Free Economic Zone(FEZ), Innopolis, Innocity, Medivalley. Some areas are designated as a special zone, while two or three special zones can overlap each other. Overlapped special zones are able to have a synergy effect. But it appears that the overlapping of special zone is ineffective in Daegu. An excess of special zone is being pointed out. Organizations for managing the special zones don't work closely with each other. And people are confused because organizations where people have to visit for public service vary in different localities. As the result, this study shows the following implications. 1) special zones should be designated to create a synergy effect in relation with other special zones. 2) special zones should not be designated until the long-term development direction of city is considered carefully. 3) Daegu should have a organization which handles everything that has to do with foreign investment.
