We have carried out near-infrared polarimetry toward the boundary of theCentral Molecular Zone, in the field of (-1.4 deg $\lesssim l \lesssim$ -0.3deg and 1.0 deg $\lesssim l \lesssim$ 2.9 deg, $|b|\lesssim$ 0.1 deg), usingthe near-infrared polarimetric camera SIRPOL on the 1.4 m Infrared SurveyFacility telescope. We have selected 112 intrinsically polarized sources on thebasis of the estimate of interstellar polarization on Stokes $Q/I-U/I$ planes.The selected sources are brighter than $K_S=14.5$ mag and have polarimetricuncertainty $\delta P<1\,%$. Ten of these distinctive polarized sources are fitwell with spectral energy distributions of young stellar objects when using thephotometry in the archive of the Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared data.However, many sources have spectral energy distributions of normal starssuffering heavy interstellar extinction; these might be stars behind darkclouds. Due to the small number of distinctive polarized sources and candidatesof young stellar object, we cannot judge if there is a decline of them outsidethe Central Molecular Zone. Many of massive candidates of young stellar objectin the literature have only small intrinsic polarization. This might suggestthat their masses are 4-15 M$_{{\rm sun}}$, whose intrinsic polarization hasbeen expected to be small.
