Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide the basis data that perceive the characteristics as well as landscape structures in Daegu by examining and analyzing the factors related with landscapes that are represented in the school songs based on the those of elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. The reasons that the study range of the elementary schools is expanded to that of middle and high schools are as follow: it is considered that the middle and high schools have broader school district than the elementary schools do and also the local activities as well as range of perception are broader. In addition to this, the level of education system is higher, therefore, there should be the differences in the expression of educational ideology; thus, it is considered that the landscape components should be more diverse. Furthermore, the author focuses on analyzing the changes of landscape components by educational system transfer including how much the local specialties are reflected. The analysis of landscape factors and characteristics represented in the school songs is considered as the useful basic data to establish the local landscape design plan for local identity recovery as well as symbolism reinforcement. The school songs are composed by the each school and the fact that what meanings the school songs have is likely to affect the juvenile students. Therefore, it can play a role as the potential local PR media that can transmit not only the specific items with intentional purpose but also the image that the local pursues. In this view, it is believed that it is rather difficult to correct the early school songs to match the local specialized aims, however, it is possible to transmit and guide the local images through school songs by guiding those of newly established schools to match the local amis.
