In this paper, we focus on remunerated services that are intended to maintain or enhance recreational and aesthetic landscape quality, which have not been analysed in a sufficient way so far. After the theoretical framing and definition of remunerated landscape services', we sketch the supply chain for their provision. Relevant organisational and institutional contexts are discussed that differentiate the involved actors, the conventions and rules governing their interaction. Finally, the paper evaluates the relevance and usefulness of concepts and tools originating from service economics for the description, classification and understanding of remunerated landscape services. Based on the discussion of concepts and theories, the paper concludes with the cornerstones of a comparative research designs for trans-national analyses which will be used in France and Austria.
