Japanese occupation

Initially, the military administration of Minami Borneo or Dutch Borneo was under the jurisdiction of the Southwest Area Fleet led by a commander-in-chief, who then appointed a superintendent general or chief civil administrator or 総官 (sōkan) for the civil administration. The sōkan supervised the Navy Civil Administration Office (Japanese: 民政府, romanized: minseifu) established in Makassar.

Japanese controls:

• Shū (州), former Residency, if a Residency overlaps with the position of the Minseibu, such as the Zuider-en-Oosterafdeeling van Borneo residency with Banjarmasin as its capital, then it becomes a "Direct Government Area" under the Minseibu, in this case, the Minseibu Borneo.
• Bunken (分遣, area) symbolizes the Dutch Afdeeling.

The indigenous people dominate:

• Gun (郡) or district, a new grouping of former onderdistricts
• Fukugun (副郡), representing the landscape of the outermost islands which is equivalent to an onderdistrict or assistant district in Java.
• Son (村) or Kampung (village), a former quasi-village level.

During the Japanese occupation, the Banjar region was specifically led by the Civil Government Leader (Indonesian: Pimpinan Pemerintahan Civil, PCC). On February 12, 1942, the Japanese Empire Military Command issued a proclamation that the city of Banjarmasin and its area were handed over to the PPC government, whose members were:

1. Pangeran Musa Ardi Kesuma
2. Sosodoro Djatikoesoemo
3. Mr. Roesbandi

PPC is headquartered in the former office of Governor Haga, the former governor of Borneo.
