Abstract　 　 
I will present a brief review and the current activities of IRSF (Infrared Survey Facility at SAAO), which was commissioned in 2000 together with SIRIUS(NIR 3-ch camera) at Sutherland. I will show statistics of visiting observers, obtained PhDs and publications from IRSF for these nine years. Polarimetric mode was installed in 2006, simply by adding two pieces; a half-wave plate and a wire-grid polarizer, called “SIRPOL = SIRius+POLarimeter”. Since then, polarimetry has been carried out for star forming regions, dark clouds and the inner regions of the Galaxy. I will talk on two recent topics based on SIRPOL observations; 1) Near-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of the Serpence Could Core: Magnetic Field Structure, Outflows and Inflows in a Cluster Forming Clump. and 2) “Near-InfraRed Polarimetric Survey toward the Galactic Center”.
