'Zugewiesen' (assigned) is the past participle of the separable verb 'zuweisen' (to assign). It is very often used like an adjective to describe a noun to which something has been allocated.
Bitte nutzen Sie nur die Ihnen zugewiesenen Parkplätze.
Please use only the parking spaces assigned to you.
The underlying verb 'zuweisen' (to assign) is used with a person in the dative. This structure is often also recognizable when 'zugewiesen' (assigned) is used as an adjective or in passive sentences.
Jeder Teilnehmer bekommt einen Betreuer zugewiesen.
Each participant is assigned a supervisor.
'Zugewiesen' (assigned) is often combined with nouns that describe a resource, a place, or a task. Typical examples are 'ein zugewiesener Platz' (an assigned place/seat), 'eine zugewiesene Aufgabe' (an assigned task), or 'zugewiesene Mittel' (allocated funds).
Er war mit der ihm zugewiesenen Aufgabe nicht zufrieden.
He was not satisfied with the task assigned to him.
certain / specific
'bestimmt für' and 'zugewiesen' can both mean that something belongs to a person, task, or purpose. 'bestimmt für' is more about what something is intended for. This can be generally planned, without someone having officially distributed it. 'zugewiesen' means that someone or something has been specifically assigned, for example a seat, a task, or a room. They can be confused because both express a kind of allocation. The important difference is: 'bestimmt für' emphasizes the purpose, while 'zugewiesen' emphasizes the assignment.
Er hat im Zug einen Platz am Fenster zugewiesen bekommen.
He was assigned a window seat on the train.
Bei der Arbeit war der kleine Raum für die Prüfung bestimmt.
At work, the small room was intended for the exam.
