This study aims to analyze the role of business mentoring in shaping the resilience of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in South Kalimantan after the COVID-19 pandemic, with business legality serving as a moderating variable. The pandemic has tested the endurance of the informal sector, particularly MSMEs lacking formal legal status. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 250 MSME actors in South Kalimantan through questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that business legality—such as ownership of a Business Identification Number (NIB) or Micro and Small Business License (IUMK), P-IRT/BPOM certification, Intellectual Property Rights (trademark), and halal certification—has a positive and significant effect on MSME resilience. These legal recognitions serve as gateways to accessing financial support, ensuring operational sustainability, and creating partnership opportunities, among others. This study recommends strengthening MSME legalization programs as a strategic effort to enhance local economic resilience, emphasizing the critical role of human resources who provide mentoring to build the capacity of MSME actors in South Kalimantan

Sustainable natural resource management is an important part of community economic development, especially in areas that depend on forest products. This study examines the public economic aspects of rattan management by the Social Forestry Business Group (KUPS) in Gohong Village, Central Kalimantan, as a community empowerment effort. The purpose of this study is to understand how the rattan management model implemented is able to improve community welfare while maintaining environmental sustainability through policies taken as one of the indicators of public economy. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was obtained through interviews with KUPS members and the Village Forest Management Agency (LPHD), direct observation of the rattan handicraft production process, and analysis of relevant policy documents. The results of the study show that rattan management by KUPS has had a very good impact on the local economy by creating business opportunities for the community, especially for women involved in the rattan handicraft industry. The shift in livelihoods from farming to rattan craftsmanship occurred as a result of the government's ban on forest burning. The rattan products produced are not only marketed at the local level but also penetrate the national market. In addition, the sustainability of this business is strengthened by the support of international grants and forest management policies that prevent over-exploitation. This study confirms that a community-based resource management model can be an effective strategy in community economic empowerment while maintaining ecological balance
