We investigated the relation between polar magnetic fields and polar coronal activities based on Stokes maps of photospheric and chromospheric lines, simultaneous X-ray and EUV images. These images are taken with Hinode and Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. With careful co-alignment between these images, we found that the X-ray jets, the X-ray bright points, and the coronal loops in the polar coronal hole appear around the relatively large magnetic concentrations near the kG-patches with minority polarity. The magnetic concentrations have magnetic polarity opposite to that of kG-patches, and they are clearly identified in the Stokes-V maps of the Na I line. We also found that such minority magnetic concentrations emerge from below the photosphere in the polar region. Our results suggest that the coronal activities and structures in the polar coronal hole can be used as a tracer of the appearance of the minority polarities in the polar region.
