1. An image decoding method, the method comprising:
determining a transform performing area for secondary inverse-transform in a current transform block;
performing the secondary inverse-transform on the determined transform performing area; and
performing primary inverse-transform on the current transform block including a secondary inverse-transformed area,
wherein the transform performing area is determined to a left-upper area of the current transform block,
wherein a size of the transform performing area is variably determined based on a comparison result between a width and a height of the current transform block and a predetermined threshold value, and
wherein the primary inverse-transform is performed on an entire area of the current transform block.
