MySQL Like query logic

I have a table like this;

|----------------------|
|field1    |   field2  |
|----------------------|
|1,2,3,0   |   area 1  |
|5,7,8     |   area 2  |
|10,6      |   area 3  |
|----------------------|

I have a query like this :

select * from areas where field1 like '%0%'

This query giving me area 1 and area 3. But I want to get only area 1 because 0 is only in area 1. Also I tried field1 like '0%' but it gave me no row.

Normalize your table. It's the only good way to solve this problem.
