The article conducts a conceptual discussion of digital placemaking practices related to forced migration. The literature has demonstrated that displaced people engage in digital placemaking to create belonging and to actualize aspirations. Simultaneously, state and suprastate actors expand digital data practices, which construct forced migrants as categories in digital place, thereby configuring their access to physical locations and to socio-legal positioning. This article argues that the digital data practices of both state and suprastate actors, such as biometric registration and metadata tracing, appropriate digital placemaking practices by forced migrants and dissect migrants’ subjectivity into data fragments that become agentic in shaping how the people access physical territory, identities, and resources. The article highlights opportunities for researching forced mobilities, place, and technologies. These opportunities include the study of nonhuman actors in placemaking processes, exploring the locus of agency in digital placemaking, and studying the intersections between embodied and digital placemaking practices.

本文对与强迫迁移有关的数字场所制作实践进行了概念性讨论。文献表明，流离失所者从事数字场所营造，以创造归属感并实现愿望。同时，州和超国家行为者扩展了数字数据实践，将强迫移民构建为数字场所中的类别，从而配置了他们对实际位置和社会法律地位的访问权限。本文认为，州和超国家行为者的数字数据做法，例如生物特征识别注册和元数据跟踪，强迫移民采取的适当数字场所制作做法，以及将移民的主观性分解为数据片段，这些数据片段可以有效地塑造人们访问实体领土的方式，身份和资源。本文重点介绍了研究强制机动性，地点和技术的机会。这些机会包括研究场所制定过程中的非人类参与者，探索数字场所制作中的代理机构所在地以及研究具体化和数字场所制作实践之间的交集。
