It is such a great pleasure for me to welcome all the participants to the third Tarumanagara International Conference on the Applications of Social Sciences and Humanities (TICASH) 2021. This international conference is held and organized annually by Universitas Tarumanagara in the field of social sciences and humanities whose proceedings will be published by Atlantis Press. This year, the third TICASH 2021 is held in collaboration with psychology consortium and law consortium under the Institute for Higher Education Services Region 3, Indonesia.

As we all know, the goal of this conference is to provide a forum that facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experience of both practitioners and academics in the fields of the applications of social sciences and humanities. Under these circumstances, they can mutually share their findings. Despite the current condition of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are still holding this international conference with more than 300 presented papers. The authors of the papers come from more than 5 different countries.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my appreciation to the following institutions. Firstly, this year’s conference become special due to the support from our Plenary Speakers, Dr. MD Azalanshah MD Syed, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia, and Dr. Monty P.
