In his birthplace Slavonski Brod, the wagon factory where Đaković once worked was named after him in 1947. The company is still known as Đuro Đaković Grupa d.d. In Sarajevo, Alipaša Street was named after him from 1945 to the 1990s. His name was also given to the Bosnian Cultural Center, the main cinema hall in post-war Sarajevo. A memorial park with a statue was built nearby Alipaša Street in 1973, on a project by Ljubomir Denković, professor at the Academy of Art in Novi Sad, in a style that art historian and museum advisor Miloš Arsić called sculptures of natural vitalism. The memorial park was renamed in 2017 in honour of the 1st Corps of the RBiH Army. From 1945 to 1990 a street in Zagreb was named after him, Đuro Đaković Workers' Street (Radnička cesta Đure Đakovića). The name was shortened to Workers' Street (Radnička cesta) after the Croatian War of Independence. A street in Ljubljana was also renamed after him, Đaković Road (Slovene: Djakovićeva cesta), but the original name Litostroj Road (Litostrojska cesta) was restored in 1993. In Belgrade, the street once named after him was later re-dedicated by splitting to Eleftherios Venizelos and Raymond Poincaré.
