               1. An image decoding method, the method comprising: 
            determining transform partition information applied for a transform block; 
                determining a current transform block using the transform partition information; and 
                performing inverse-transform on the current transform block, 
                wherein the current transform block is a sub transform block partitioned from an upper layer transform block, the sub transform block being a block partitioned from the upper layer transform block by at least one of a quad tree partition or a binary tree partition, 
                wherein whether to partition the upper layer transform block into the sub transform block is determined based on at least one of a width or a height of the upper layer transform block, and 
                wherein the inverse-transform is performed within a predetermined transform performing area of the upper layer transform block.
