Is the use of で(は) instead of に(は) OK in these cases with がある? Is there ever a context in which で(は) would be preferred over に(は) with がある?

Hey guys, I’m working on memorising my speech for a Japanese speech contest I’m attending and I’ve noticed a couple of particles that are bothering me. I have actually run the speech past my (native) Japanese teacher and he said it was good to go, but I wonder whether he just missed it and I only noticed it later, so I hadn’t asked about this specifically in our lesson.

The sentences that are bothering me are these:

日本語能力試験N2レベルの単語**では**、ある言葉があります。

留寿都の地域**で**KFCがないのもかまわなかったんです。

Should I replace those with **に(は)**?

Also, what’s a good synonym for 素晴らしい when describing a place? Like in the sentence: “It is an amazing place.”

ありがとう!
