The present invention relates to a method for inducing a fusion candidate block and to a device using the same. An image decoding method involves the decoding of information in relation to the motion estimation region (mer); the determination of whether a predicted target block and a candidate block of spatial fusion are included or not in the same mer; and the determination that the spatial fusion candidate block is a candidate fusion block not available when the predicted target block and the candidate spatial fusion block are included in the same mer. Accordingly, by performing in parallel the method for inducing a fusion candidate, parallel processing is enabled and the amount of calculation and the complexity of implementation are reduced.
