1. An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving image information including partitioning information for a current picture from a bitstream;
deriving a partitioning structure of the current picture including at least one slice based on the partitioning information for the current picture; and
decoding the current picture based on the partitioning structure,
wherein the image information includes a first flag related to the presence of subpicture information and a second flag related to whether each subpicture in the current picture includes only one slice,
wherein a value of the second flag is equal to 1 or 0,
wherein the value of the second flag being equal to 1 represents that the each subpicture in the current picture includes only one slice,
wherein a number of subpictures in the current picture is derived to be equal to 1 based on a value of the first flag being equal to 0,
wherein whether a number of slices included in the current picture is equal to 1 is determined by the value of the second flag based on the value of the first flag being equal to 0, and
wherein the image information includes information representing a number of slices in the current picture based on the second flag.
